The Milwaukee Continuum of Care (CoC) is designed to promote community-wide goals to end homelessness by providing funding to quickly rehouse homeless individuals including unaccompanied youth and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation to those persons; promote access to, and effective utilization of, mainstream programs; and optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness. The CoC is composed of service providers for homelessness prevention, emergency shelter, safe havens, transitional housing, street outreach, permanent housing, supportive services, Coordinated Entry, a Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), and other interested organizations and individuals. The Milwaukee CoC’s mission is to organize people and resources to end homelessness in Milwaukee.
The CoC is a group of membership agencies working together to create, implement, monitor, and modify collective goals to end homelessness in Milwaukee County. The CoC solicits the input of its Full Body membership on large decisions, is governed by a CoC Board, and accomplishes its work through various committees and workgroups. The Milwaukee CoC appoints a Collaborative Applicant, an HMIS Lead, and Coordinated Entry Lead.
