Salem County Continuum of Care
2.Purpose: The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides funding to counties to support a continuum of services for residents facing different stages of homelessness from prevention through to permanent housing. Counties can access this funding by hosting a Continuum of Care (CoC) network which ensures accountability for the
planning, utilization, and reporting of funding and services. To access funding, CoCs must establish and comply with complex rules and regulations around policies and procedures, and data collection and analysis. If you have a passion for advocating for the realities and needs of the homeless in Salem
County, please consider joining the Salem County CoC
