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.
The FY 2021 CoC Program Competition is Now Open
The FY 2021 CoC Program Competition opened on August 18, 2021. The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, November 16, 2021 at 8:00 PM EST.
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.
