Ending Homelessness In Our Community

The Western Virginia Continuum of Care (CoC) is a funding and planning approach that helps communities provide prevention; emergency, transitional, and permanent housing; and other services to address homelessness.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that all communities establish a CoC. Participants can include nonprofit organizations, businesses, local and state government departments, schools, hospitals, community members, and many more.

The CoC’s goal is to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring in our area.
