Description
The Continuum of Care (CoC) program supports a coordinated response to homelessness through housing and supportive services. Funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and administered by Idaho Housing and Finance Association (IHFA), it aims to rehouse individuals and families quickly while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness. The program also promotes access to mainstream resources and opportunities for self-sufficiency.
IHFA serves as Collaborative Applicant for the House Idaho Collaborative (HIC), Idaho’s Balance of State CoC. It manages the local application process, submits the consolidated application to HUD, and coordinates and monitors funded projects. Priorities include ending chronic and family homelessness, removing barriers to assistance, strengthening community partnerships, and using performance reviews to guide resource allocation.
