Creating a community-wide effort in the planning and strategic allocation of resources to address homelessness.

What is a Continuum of Care?

The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is developed by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CoC Program provides funding to states, localities, and nonprofit organizations to provide permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), and, in some cases, homelessness prevention.

How Does the CoC Program Work?

HUD grantees receive funding from HUD to support HUD's mission to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all. HUD grantees include state and local governments, non-profit and for-profit organizations, public housing authorities, and tribal entities.

How is the Manchester CoC Managed and Run?

The Manchester CoC is a collaborative of community partners and member organizations who work together on an on-going monthly basis. Each year, the group works together to determine funding needs and applies to HUD grants that are then allocated to the programs and organizations that are a part of the work.
