The Guilford County Continuum of Care (Guilford CoC) is the planning body in Guilford County, North Carolina that coordinates the community’s policies, strategies, and activities toward ending homelessness.

Its work includes gathering and analyzing information in order to determine the local needs of people experiencing homelessness, implementing strategic responses, educating the community on homeless issues, providing advice and input on the operations of homeless services, and measuring CoC performance to ensure the orderly, transparent operations of the CoC governance structure.

The purpose of the Guilford CoC is to:

• promote community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness;
• provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers and State and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals, families, persons fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and youth while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness;
• promote access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families; and
• optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
