Continuum of Care (CoC)

Introduction

The Housing and Workforce Solutions (HWS) Department’s CoC Division’s primary purpose is to develop and maintain an effective county-wide Continuum of Care. The Continuum of Care oversees our community's plan to organize and deliver supportive social services, including housing options, which meet the specific needs of homeless individuals and families. Ultimately, the goal of the Continuum is to move homeless people toward stable housing and maximum self-sufficiency.

Some of the CoC’s activities include the annual HUD Continuum of Care Programs Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA) for homeless services and housing programs, the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) NOFA and the Homeless Point in Time Count , a survey of homeless individuals in the whole county.
