2024 CoC-Funded Permanent Housing Programs
All CoC-funded housing programs participate in Coordinated Entry. This process is to ensure that those most in need receive scarce resources first and helps promote more equitable access to resources and more equitable outcomes for persons that are part of marginalized communities.
All CoC-funded housing programs align with a "Housing First" approach, to remove barriers to program entry, use a screen in, not a screen out approach, and best creates opportunities for those most vulnerable in a person-centered way.
All Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) programs offer housing subsidies and ongoing case management and are dedicated to those experiencing chronically homeless, which includes those living on the street or in shelter for 12 months or more and someone with a permanent disability.
In 2023, the CoC referred over 200 long-term homeless households, victims of domestic violence, and youth to rapid rehousing, and more than 50 chronically homeless households to PSH (40 single adults and 10 families). Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHV) were also through Coordinated Entry, where over 400 households were referred for permanent housing vouchers.
