This is an important notice regarding the CT-503 FY 2022 CoC NOFO Competition.
Dear Opening Doors Fairfield County/CT-503 Continuum of Care grantees, members and stakeholders:
This email summarizes the list of renewal projects and new projects that have been accepted by the CoC and will be included in the ODFC/CT-503 CoC FY 2022 Project Priority List for funding. This list also includes the list of projects being reallocated or which were not selected for submission. Additionally, you will find attached to this email a document summarizing the final ranking and tiering of projects for the CT-503 CoC FY 2022 CoC Application and Project Priority Listing.
The process used by the CoC to develop this list is described in the: Opening Doors of Fairfield County/CT 503 CoC FY2022 Project Evaluation, Reallocation, Selection and Ranking Policies
This final list of projects being accepted, rejected or reduced (along with the funding amounts, project scores, and ranking) for the CT-503 CoC’s FY22 CoC application submission was recommended by the Funding Oversight Committee on 09/09/22 and approved by the Non-Conflicted Members of the ODFC Coordinating Council on 09/14/22.
ODFC/CT-503 CoC FY22 CoC Priority List Ranking
As part of the decision-making process, the Funding Oversight Committee reviewed various ranking and tiering scenarios, deliberated over the course of several meetings, and ultimately recommended the adopted ranking/tiering as it aligns with the CoC’s policies, strategies, and priorities, and provides the CoC with an opportunity to bring in new funds to meet the CoC’s needs while safeguarding renewal projects essential to the operations of the CoC. The Funding Oversight Committee's recommendation was provided to the Non-Conflicted Members of the ODFC Coordinating Council for further review and approval.
