SuperNOFA Application Process
The purpose of the Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Programs is to fund projects that will fill gaps in locally developed Continuum of Care systems to assist homeless persons to move to self-sufficiency and permanent housing. An important element of meeting this objective is to fund projects that will meet the US Department of Housing and Urban Development's goal of ending chronic homelessness. The County of Orange coordinates an “Associated Application” for homeless assistance on behalf of all jurisdictions and agencies in the County of Orange who wished to participate. The County of Orange Community Resources Department (OCCR) will be responsible for oversight, planning and coordination of the Continuum of Care Strategy, application process, and project evaluation and prioritization. However, applicants who receive conditional funding awards will contract directly with HUD for receipt of funds. Applicants will have monitoring, compliance and contract administration responsibilities. HUD typically releases their annual request for Continuum of Care funding proposals under the SuperNOFA (Notice of Funding Availability) notification in the spring of each year. In 2010, portions of the application are being released in advance of the national HUD announcement to expedite the CoC’s completion.

The 2010 SuperNOFA Conditional Awards for OC were announced on December 24, 2009. $11 million for homeless assistance for existing projects was awarded to Orange County agencies.
