FY2022 CoC RANKING/REVIEW CRITERIA
The ranking and review criteria for the FY2022 Continuum of Care Competition is available at the bottom of this webpage for both new projects and renewal (existing) projects. These scoring tools are used to rank and review new and renewal applications, respectively. Please refer to these tools to see how project applications will be scored and how points are awarded in the competition. A ranking and review committee comprised of CoC Board Members and other local experts will use this ranking and review criteria to evaluate all FY2022 CoC applications and will use the scoring tools to determine project ranking, which will be included in the Consolidated Application package that is submitted to HUD.
FY2022 CoC REALLOCATION POLICY
Any CoC grantee interested in voluntarily reallocating funding to better reach the goal of ending homelessness is encouraged to create a new project that will better achieve that goal – please reach out to ACDS staff if you are considering creating a new CoC project. Low performing projects may have funding reallocated through the process of review and ranking procedures per the MD-503 Anne Arundel County CoC Reallocation Policy, available here.
