The CoC Program promotes planning and strategic use of federal resources to address homelessness in communities across the country. CoC grants support non-profits, as well as state and local governments in rehousing homeless individuals and families, and support self-sufficiency among homeless individuals and families. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
