A decade of low-barrier practice meets a high-barrier mandate.
The upcoming 2026 HUD Continuum of Care NOFO is expected to pivot federal funding away from Housing First and toward transitional housing with mandatory supportive services. Reports from the November 2025 NOFO suggest some clients will be expected to participate in up to forty hours of customized services per week.
For case managers trained under low-barrier models, this is a fundamental change in role. They are being asked to have firm, accountability-based conversations they may have never navigated before — without losing the therapeutic alliance that took years to build.
Without the right preparation, the transition risks two outcomes nonprofit leaders cannot afford: program non-compliance, and the burnout of the very staff who hold the system together.
Four modules. One bridge between compliance and compassion.
Built specifically for case managers, housing navigators, shelter staff, and program supervisors. Available as live virtual, in-person, or self-paced e-learning.
Full module details“Everybody in my role around the country was like, ‘What on earth does that mean?’ Does that mean you’re taking forty hours of classes? They had never really gotten to defining what those forty hours of supportive services meant.”
— CoC administrator, quoted in Shelterforce, April 2026
