A Continuum of Care is
a single, coordinated and inclusive process for the planning and management of the local (City of Cincinnati and Hamilton County) Continuum. The CoC works with all programs which serve homeless persons including:
The Continuum of Care process
- involves all agencies and programs who receive funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
- facilitates the allocation of funding to these agencies
- serves as an inclusive vehicle to promote best practices
- facilitates access to mainstream resources and services for the homeless
- works to develop policies and procedures to assist homeless persons directly
- aims to ultimately end homelessness
The tangible product of this process is the annual Continuum of Care grant application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
