Fulton County Announces Update to the Application Process
for the FY2022 Continuum of Care Supplemental Funding.
This opportunity addresses unsheltered and rural homelessness.

The Fulton County Department of Community Development, Homeless Division (DCD) announced an update today regarding the FY2022 Supplemental Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) project applications. As the collaborative applicant for the GA-502 Fulton County Continuum of Care (COC) the DCD released information regarding the original application in August.

Applicants are being advised that an updated application has been posted for the FY2022 CoC Supplemental Funding NOFO due to a minor change involving section “d” of the application. The scoring criteria was revised to correct a typo in the right-hand column. The total scoring did not change. Below is a summary of the change:

d) Describe/demonstrate the capacity to appropriately manage
state/federal funds and to leverage other funding (5 points)

• 5 Points: Response is clear and concise; financial statements/IRS Form 990 are current (without concerns); board consists of volunteer/ diverse members; applicant has experience administering federal funds;

• 3 Points: Response is adequate; financial statements/IRS
Form 990 are current (any concerns addressed); board consists of volunteer/ diverse members; applicant has experience administering government funds; and there are no match/leveraging concerns for reaching capacity

• 1 Point: Response unclear and leaves unanswered
questions; financial statements and/or IRS Form 990 are not current (with concerns); board consists of local volunteer/diverse members; applicant has experience administering grant funds; and/or there are
match/leveraging concerns for reaching capacity

The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released the FY2022 COC Supplemental NOFO on June 22, 2022. Through this funding, proposed projects must meet priorities set by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. Those priorities include unsheltered homelessness, involving a broad array of stakeholders in the COC’s efforts to reduce homelessness (partnering with housing, health, and service agencies), advancing equity, and using the housing first approach.

All application components for the FY2022 Supplemental NOFO are due by Monday, September 19, 2022, at 5:00 p.m.
