St. Charles, Lincoln & Warren County Continuum of Care Program Information

The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is a HUD-funded program designed to engage community providers towards the goal of ending homelessness for all persons. However, the most vulnerable persons are prioritized for services. HUD provides funding to nonprofit providers as well as State and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families. HUD expects that communities engage in collaborative and coordinated efforts to develop a system of care that allows for persons experiencing homelessness to find permanent housing, increase skills and income while affording them the opportunity of self-direction and choice. The CoC program also houses the legacy Supportive Housing Program (SHP).
