Update as of June 5, 2026

The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is designed to promote a community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; to provide funding efforts for efforts by eligible non-profit providers, local governments, and States to quickly rehouse homeless individuals, families, youth, and persons fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking while minimizing trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness; to promote access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families, and to optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness
