A Continuum of Care (CoC) is a regional or local planning body that coordinates housing and services funding for homeless families and individuals. Under U.S. Law, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds most homeless services housing providers, through such CoC organizations.
The legal name of the CoC for Dallas and Collin Counties is TX-600 – Dallas City & County/Irving CoC. MDHA is the designated lead agency for the CoC organization. The two collective bodies of the CoC are its General Assembly and its Board (which doubles as MDHA’s board). Their meetings are open to the public.
Last week our CoC hit 60 member organizations! CoC member organizations may:
- Vote on CoC General Assembly resolutions and in CoC General Assembly elections;
- Attend training sessions that are only open to CoC members;
- Get discounts on training events that are open to the general public;
- Take advantage of our exclusive ALN Apt. Data membership and apartment listings on Basecamp, great tools for finding apartments for clients;
- Show their friends and supporters that they are serious about ending homelessness.
