HUD requires CoCs to rank projects in two tiers –Tier 1 and Tier 2 –to encourage continuous performance improvement and local competition:
Tier 1 is equal to 93& of the CoC’s Annual Renewal Demand (ARD) for all projects eligible for renewal minus the Annual Renewal Amounts of YHDP projects.

Priority Rank Project Type Internal Evaluation Criteria Rationale/Policy Priority Alignment
1 Continuum-Wide Activities (HMIS, CES) Order by evaluation score HUD required elements of a CoC’s system per latest HUD Rating and Ranking Tool. Highest priority locally among renewal projects.
2 Project-Based Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) Projects Scoring 61% or higher of total available points on evaluation PSH is the highest priority CoC-funded housing model, with project-based PSH being irreplaceable if funding is lost.
3 Tenant-Based PSH Projects Scoring 61% or higher of total available points on evaluation PSH is the highest priority CoC-funded housing model.
4 Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) Projects Scoring 61% or higher of total available points on evaluation Rapid placement and stabilization in permanent housing is critical to ending homelessness
5 Safe Haven Project Scoring 61% or higher of total available points on evaluation Provides supportive housing to hard-to-reach, high-acuity individuals with severe, persistent mental illness and serves as a viable alternative to other housing models.
6 Transitional Housing (TH) for Domestic Violence (DV) Survivors Scoring 61% or higher of total available points on evaluation TH projects, particularly those serving vulnerable populations, that enable and demonstrate rapid placement and stabilization in permanent housing remain important to the CoC.
