Your real odds

Only about 10 of the 50+ listed programs are open competitive NOFOs, and the rest are reserved for existing awardees.

If you are not already an IDHS-funded provider, your entry point is one of the competitive NOFOs, such as Housing is Recovery, Peer Support Warm Line, or Youth Project Lighthouse, and you will be competing against established service organizations for state government contracts.
