Abstract

After several years of its initial response to homelessness, the U.S. government introduced the Continuum of Care (CoC) concept in 1993. The concept has formed a basis for federal homeless policy and has stimulated community-wide coordination of homeless service providers through a local planning body, or a CoC as an entity. A CoC also means a local system of homeless programs and services. This study examines an ongoing situation of the New York City CoC, drawing on interviews with the staff of local key agencies and Internet research. As results, 1) The CoC body is comprised of NPOs with different backgrounds, which provide a wide range of services for the homeless as well as other vulnerable groups receiving funds from different government departments. 2) The CoC is an institutionally, geographically and disciplinary comprehensive support system to end homelessness.
