SICOCN BANNER1

People and Agencies in Action

The purpose of the SICOCN is to bring together public and private community based organizations, government, representatives and consumers to identify ways to serve the homeless by identifying gaps and proposing action to fill those gaps.  This includes seeking and managing grant funding.

FY 2019 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program application information and processes can be followed by checking out the HUD NOFA 2019 & 2018 tab (see above).

            The 2019 CoC NOFA is Here
Recently, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) posted the 2019 CoC Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). The programs to be funded by this NOFA continue to be the most important tools for building local systems that identify everyone who becomes homeless, keeps them safe, and helps them get back into housing quickly.
The CoC Program is designed to promote a community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; to provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, States, and local governments to quickly re-house homeless individuals, families, persons fleeing domestic violence, and youth while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness; to promote access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families; and to optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness.

The SICOCN 2018 awards can be viewed here.
