The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is designed to promote a community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; to provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, states, Indian Tribes or tribally designated housing entities, and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals, families, persons fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and youth while minimizing the 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.
The City of Dayton partners with Montgomery County and Kettering for their Continuum of Care. The CoC is a network of community stakeholders, both individuals and organizations, who are committed to working towards the goal to prevent and end homelessness by:
- Identifying need for housing and services to end homelessness
- Coordinating funding for shelter and housing programs
- Developing an effective system of housing and services
- Evaluating progress at the community and program level.
