Continuum of Care Program Funding
The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program promotes our commitment to the goal of ending homelessness by providing funding for permanent housing, as well as capacity for coordinated entry, data collection and management through HMIS, and communitywide planning efforts. In Indianapolis, CoC funding primarily supports permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing. Since 2019, we have received additional funding targeted to rehouse survivors of domestic violence and to serve the unique needs youth and young adults. Through the annual CoC program funding competition, new and renewal projects are evaluated on their capacity to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused to homeless individuals, families, and communities by homelessness; promote access to and effect utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families; and optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
Agencies interested in funding for a permanent housing project should be committed to principles Housing First, Trauma Informed Care, and prepared to design and implement a project in alignment with our Indianapolis Community Plan to End Homelessness.
