HUD Waives Its Waiting Period After Legal Process Delays

## Summary

HUD is waiving the usual 30-day wait time for applications to the 2026 Continuum of Care Program because of some legal back-and-forth that delayed the process.

- Compressed Review Timeline; Large Applicant Pool: benefit, medium. HUD must now review and make awards within a 62-day window after the NOFO restoration, which it says would be the quickest the program has ever processed applications (historically reviews have required over 90 days).
