FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (FOX26) — Multiple housing projects in Fresno and Madera counties are expected to lose funding due to changes made by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has introduced significant changes in its 2025 Continuum of Care Notice of Funding Opportunity, imposing a new cap of 30% on permanent housing investments.
This adjustment, coupled with delays from the recent federal shutdown, is expected to result in a loss of over $5 million in funding for Permanent Supportive Housing and Rapid Re-housing programs in Fresno and Madera counties.
Historically, the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care has allocated most of its HUD funding to permanent housing.
The changes will first impact two Turning Point PSH projects in Fresno, with effects beginning in January 2026.
As a result, Turning Point has issued 60-day exit notices to all 80 tenants at these projects.
The County and FMCoC are working together to find solutions to mitigate the impact of these funding changes.
