A Continuum of Care (CoC) is a regional or local planning body designated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to coordinate housing and services for homeless individuals and families. A CoC is comprised of nonprofit organizations, local government representatives, and community stakeholders, and manages federal funding (from HUD) to address homelessness. The CoC Board, known locally as the HUD CoC Committee, makes decisions on behalf of this planning body.

Every year, HUD has an annual funding competition for CoCs. For more information about the annual funding process, please visit https://everyonehome.org/main/continuum-of-care/hud-coc-nofa/. If you have a project that you want to be considered for funding, you can submit a response to the County’s request for Letters of Interest. The Letter of Interest is not required to be eligible for funding but is intended to assist the County with gathering important information that may be used to submit an application. Please complete this form so we can learn more about your organization, program needs, and eligibility. Click here to complete the Letter of Interest form.
