Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC)
Description: The CoC Program (24 CFR part 578) is a program of the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, designed to promote a community-wide commitment to ending homelessness; to provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, States, and local governments to quickly re-house the homeless and minimize the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness; to promote access to and utilization of mainstream programs by the homeless; and to optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness.
