Match Requirements
What are the CoC Match requirements? (§ 578.73(a))
The CoC Program requires a 25 percent match of the awarded grant amount minus funds for leasing. Cash or in-kind resources will satisfy the match requirement.

The leasing budget line item is not included in the grant’s match calculation.
FAQ: What are the match requirements in the CoC Program?
Answer: Match is actual cash or in-kind resources contributed to the grant. All costs paid for with matching funds must be for activities that are eligible under the CoC Program, even if the recipient is not receiving CoC Program grant funds for that activity. All grant funds must be matched with an amount no less than 25 percent of the awarded grant amount (excluding the amount awarded to the leasing budget line item) with cash or in-kind resources. Match resources may be from public (not statutorily prohibited by the funding agency from being used as a match) or private resources.
According to § 578.73, in CoCs where there is more than one recipient, the recipient must provide match on a grant-by-grant basis. In CoCs in which there is a UFA or a sole recipient for the Continuum, matching funds may be provided by the recipient on a Continuum-wide basis.
Examples A and B are calculations of match with and without a leasing budget line item.
EXAMPLE A
Total amount requested from HUD (without leasing)
- Rental Assistance funding = $95,000
- Project Administration funding = $5,000
- Total amount requested = $100,000
Total amount requested from HUD x .25 = Minimum Match Requirement
- $100,000 x .25 = $25,000
EXAMPLE B
Total amount requested from HUD (with leasing)
- Leasing funding = $40,000
- Supportive Services funding = $55,000
- Project Administration funding = $5,000
- Total amount requested = $100,000
Total amount requested from HUD, excluding amount requested for leasing
- $100,000 (Total Amount Requested) - $40,000 (Leasing Funding) = $60,000
Total amount requested from HUD x .25 = Minimum Match Requirement
- $60,000 x .25 = $15,000
Is the match requirement specific to each grant? (§ 578.73(a))
Unless the CoC has a Unified Funding Agency (UFA), match must be provided on a per grant basis. In CoCs in which there is a UFA, the recipient may provide matching funds on a continuum-wide basis. See the CoC UFA Binder for more information.
