This Year's Local Competition

Some changes to this year’s local competition include the following:

• Tier 1 has been reduced to 30% of Tucson/Pima Annual Renewal Demand, with Tier 2 accounting for the remaining 70% of the Annual Renewal Demand.
• Permanent Housing, meaning both Rapid Rehousing and Permanent Supportive Housing, is limited to 30% of Tucson/Pima Annual Renewal Demand.
• All applications excluding the CoC Planning Grant will be reviewed competitively, including regular CoC Renewal and Reallocation applications, along with YHDP Renewal and Replacement applications, and Renewal Applications for projects originally awarded through the Supplemental Notice of Funding Opportunity to Address Unsheltered Homelessness.
• Transitional Housing, Street Outreach, and other Supportive Services Only programs are options for new project types.

Applicants should reference the FY2025 Competition Overview, Instructions, and Process for Tucson/Pima County for detailed instructions on how to apply for the local competition.

For federal projects submitted directly to HUD using the eSNAPS portal, plentiful resources also exist. Please see the schedule for the upcoming pre-proposal webinars to learn more.
