The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is designed to promote community wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness. Bridging McKinney-Vento work with local Continuum of Care can be immensely useful. This session will provide introductory information on the education professional’s role at the Continuum of Care table and how their voice and their efforts can help to increase homelessness funding across the state to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families and offer other services to those experiencing homelessness.
