Continuum of Care (CoC) Program
The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is designed to promote communitywide 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.
CoC Data Maturity Assessment Tool
The Data Maturity Assessment tool is a self-assessment tool that helps communities reflect on local data practices and identify the conditions necessary for effective data-based decision-making. This tool is designed to motivate discussion on the degree to which data is currently being leveraged in your community and to instigate action on areas for improvement.
CoC and ESG Virtual Binders cover foundational topics from the CoC and ESG programs, with the goal to transfer basic knowledge to grantees in order to more successfully administer their projects.
Each virtual binder reflects a range of learning styles and offers a variety of ways to interact with the topics. Topics include eligible activities, grant administration, leasing and rental assistance, program components, and many more.
