It is a strategic plan to address the use of HUD resources and their interface with other funding <br />sources, developed through acommunity-based process to address homelessness based on: the <br />identified needs of homeless individuals and families; the availability and accessibility of existing <br />housing and services; and the opportunities for linkages with non-homeless mainstream housing and <br />services resources. Through the Continuum of Care planning process, a community can: <br />o Identify the size and scope of the homeless problem; <br />o Inventory the resources available in the community to address the problem of <br />homelessness, including both homeless resources and non-homeless targeted housing and <br />service resources (referred to as "mainstream" resources); <br />O Rank the community's needs in order of priority; <br />O Strategically plan the range of services and housing that should be implemented to address <br />homelessness; and <br />O Identify available leveraging resources that can be used to address homelessness. <br />2. It is an application to HUD for McKinney Homeless Assistance resources. These resources are <br />Current Active Grants invaluable in providing housing and supportive services for people who are homeless. These funds <br />are made available through a national competition announced each year in HUD's Notice of Funding <br />Availability. The Central MN COC has secured $10,668,789 in funding since 1997 through this <br />application. <br />Check c~~t fhse 2t:1J IWxhibit One Application by clicking on this link. <br />Continuum of Care Meeting Information <br />All 2010 Central MN COC meetings will take place at the Morrison County Government Center in Little Falls. <br />Location address: 213 SE 1st Avenue <br />Meeting Room #1 <br />Little Falls, MN 56345 <br />2011 Meeting Schedule <br />Date Time <br />January 4 1-3 pm <br />February 1 1-3 pm <br />http://www.cmhp.net/continuum_of care.html <br />
