Continuum of Care Division and Funded Programs

The Housing, Homelessness Prevention and Workforce Solutions (HHPWS) Department’s Continuum of Care Division is responsible for coordinating a Consolidated Application to HUD on behalf of the County of Riverside Continuum of Care (CoC) and provides administrative fiscal and programmatic oversight of all HUD CoC funded projects. The Riverside County CoC has a network of more than 140 private and public sector organizations and homeless service providers designed to promote community-wide planning and the strategic use of resources to address homelessness. The CoC strives to improve coordination and integration with mainstream resources and other community programs for people who are experiencing or are at-risk of becoming homeless and to move homeless people toward stable housing and maximum self-sufficiency. The Continuum of Care Division also serves as the Administrative Entity responsible for awarding State Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP), California Emergency Solutions and Housing (CESH) funds and other State Housing Programs to eligible service providers within the CoC Service Area(s).
