Supporting special grant-management duties for approved unified funding agencies
Unified Funding Agency Costs (UFA)
Unified Funding Agency costs are a specialized project path for a CoC that HUD has approved as a Unified Funding Agency. This is not a general service or housing project. It only fits when the local CoC has that formal designation and eligible responsibilities.
What problem does this solve?
Some CoCs have special HUD-approved responsibilities for managing funds and oversight. UFA costs help support those responsibilities, but only where the formal designation exists.
This may be a good fit if...
Your CoC has HUD-approved UFA designation.
Your organization is responsible for eligible UFA duties.
You can clearly separate UFA costs from planning or project operations.
You can manage federal grant requirements for this specialized role.
This may not be the best fit if...
Your organization wants to provide housing or services.
The CoC does not have UFA designation.
You are looking for ordinary administrative support for one project.
You are not responsible for UFA duties.
What would the program actually do?
The CoC confirms UFA status and eligible responsibilities.
The responsible organization defines allowable UFA costs.
The work supports system-level grant management and oversight.
Documentation shows how the costs support the approved UFA role.
What can funding usually support?
Eligible UFA costs under the CoC Program rules.
Project administration where allowed.
What should you have ready?
Does MO-602 have HUD-approved UFA designation?
Is your organization responsible for UFA duties?
Can you separate UFA costs from planning and project operations?
Can you document eligible activities and compliance?
Think this might fit?
Start with a Letter of Intent
If you believe UFA costs apply, submit a Letter of Intent or contact the local team to confirm eligibility before proceeding.
