The SuperNofa (Notice of Funding) Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance FundingIn 1995, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) implemented the Continuum of Care approach to streamline the existing competitive funding and grant-making process under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act and to encourage communities to coordinate more fully the planning and provision of housing and services for homeless people.
Annually, the Indiana Interagency Council on the Homeless (IAC) prepares the Indiana Balance of State Continuum of Care application for any regional Continuum of Care that desires to apply as a consortium of Continua of Care. The development of Indiana's "Balance of the State" application is the result of many diverse efforts throughout the state to address homelessness, and it currently involves twelve of the state’s thirteen Continua. Through this extremely competitive Continuum of Care program, local and state jurisdictions, housing authorities, and nonprofits (secular and faith based) can apply for funding in supportive housing for homeless persons as defined by HUD.
The SuperNofa (Notice of Funding) Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance funding was announced in June 2008. The Application (Exhibit 1) and the Projects (Exhibit 2) were submitted on October 22, 2008 for the state of Indiana. The application does not include the City of Indianapolis or the City of South Bend. Those two cities applied to HUD independently.
Click here for a copy of Exhibit 1 that was sent to HUD. Exhibit 1 is a summary of the projects and overall view of how the State of Indiana is addressing the homeless issue.

Serve 100% homeless as defined by HUD
Received state ESG funding in 2010-11 program year
Attended at least 75% of local continuum of care meetings in 2010
The grant will have a one year grant period, covering operations and essential services provided between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012.
