WHO WE ARE

Why do we do what we do? It's more than just our passion and wanting to help people. We do it because we refuse to accept a community where people do not have a roof over their heads and continue to suffer.

COC PLANNING & COMMUNITY SUPPORT

The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, and State and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused to homeless individuals, families, and communities by homelessness; promote access to and effect utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families; and optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
