​Why should I participate in the CoC?

​

  • The CoC is a regional evaluation and planning process. Broad participation is needed to provide input on the creation, implementation and evaluation of the plan.

  • Peers in your Continuum of Care can help your organization develop more effective ways to serve consumers by sharing information and experiences.

  • Planning as a Continuum of Care helps avoid duplication of efforts within a community and makes service providers more efficient.

  • Being involved in your Continuum of Care permits you to keep appraised of important information including; funding opportunities, partner updates, state plans and priorities, training's, regional trends, etc.

  • Being involved in your Continuum of Care allows your voice to be heard on policies, funding, and service needs of persons who are experiencing homelessness in your communities.

  • An effective Continuum of Care makes a community more competitive for HUD Homeless Assistance grants.

  • A Continuum of Care can create a critical mass of political will to end homelessness.

  • Together we really can do more!
