Congratulations to all the Projects that were approved. Unfortunately, three of our Renewal Project Applications were not approved for funding by HUD, and none of our New or Expansion Project Applications were approved for funding. HUD has not released the Continuum Application Scoring results yet. When they do, that will give us a better sense of how we did compared to other CoCs, and what areas of the application we did better or worse on compared both to other CoCs, and to our own prior applications.
