Westchester CoC Board ranks renewal CoC projects

On December 17, 2025 the Westchester CoC Board provisionally approved the results of the CoC renewal project ranking process (subject to re-release of a FY2025 CoC NOFO and terms within). The ranking results are available for download by clicking on the image below. 9 out of 13 renewal projects were Accepted for renewal; the 4 lowest ranked Permanent Housing projects were Rejected and funding for FY2025 was reallocated into new projects to comply with the HUD’s restriction limiting PH project funidng to 30% ARD.

7 new TH projects and 3 new SSO have been approved and ranked by the CoC Board (in addition to the CoC Planning project which is not ranked) according to Board scoring of their responses to the CoC Request for Information and placing TH projects above SSO projects.

One Transitional Housing was deemed ineligible and not ranked because the project included activities non-compliant with HUD Transitional Housing regulations.

Westchester DCMH       18.56

FSSY                                    18.33

Thank you to all CoC Board members who voted during this CoC Bonus scoring process.
