The Continuum of Care leads the effort to prevent and end homelessness, bringing together resources and partnerships to make homelessness rare, brief, and one time.

The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is designed to promote communitywide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, and State and local governments to quickly rehouse individuals and families experiencing homelessness while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused to individuals, families, and communities by homelessness; promote access to and effect utilization of mainstream programs by individuals and families; and optimize self-sufficiency amongst individuals and families experiencing homelessness, or at risk of homelessness

The St. Johns County Continuum of Care (CoC) is a collaboration of stakeholders from across St. Johns County who are committed to ending homelessness through sharing expertise, using data to inform practices, monitoring system performance, and using our collective voice to advocate for our neighbors experiencing homelessness, or at risk of homelessness. We collaborate with our members and work groups to develop performance standards in order to guide programs and determine the most effective and efficient use of funding in the community.
