Continuum of Care's are most commonly organized around two main goals –
Planning for the homeless housing and service system in a community
Applying for funding from the HUD’s competitive McKinney-Vento Act programs.
To receive HUD McKinney-Vento funding, organizations must work through a local CoC. All continuum partners should be invested in these goals but depending on the partner, their roles can and should vary.
Oregon Housing and Community Services agency leads and administers the Board of Directors Rural Oregon Continuum of Care (CoC) meetings.
Each Oregon county has it's own local continuum structure with regular meetings and objectives as well.
