Continnum of Care Homeless Assistance Program (CoC): The purpose of the CoC Homeless Assistance Programs is to reduce the incidence of homelessness in CoC communities by assisting homeless individuals and families to move to self-sufficiency and permanent housing. Projects that sustain current successful interventions and fill gaps in locally developed CoC systems will be funded. To help meet the Administrations goal of ending chronic homelessness, priority will be placed on programs that target the supportive housing needs of chronically homeless persons. 2.
