CoC Eligible Project Types

The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is intended to promote strategic, community-wide coordination of resources toward the goal of ending homelessness, provide funding to homeless service providers and State and City governments, increase access to services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, and cultivate lasting self-sufficiency for persons with lived experience. CoC Program funds may be used under the following project types, known as program components. These components are:

1. Permanent Housing (PH)
   • Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)
   • Rapid Re-Housing (RRH)
2. Transitional Housing (TH)
3. Joint Transitional-Rapid Re-housing (TH-RRH)
4. Homeless Management Information System (HMIS)
5. Coordinated Entry (CE)

Funding for Supportive Services Only (SSO) projects has been made available through special funding opportunities such as the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) and the Special Unsheltered NOFO (SNOFO) but is not typically available through the CoC Program NOFO.
