Program Description

  Interagency Commission on Homelessness

The Montgomery County Continuum of Care (CoC) coordinates the community's policies, strategies, and implementation of a housing and services system to prevent and end homelessness through a collaboration of public and private sector groups. Responsibilities include promoting a community-wide commitment to ending homelessness, providing funding for efforts to promote community-wide planning and strategic use of resources to address homelessness, and improving coordination and integration with mainstream resources and other programs targeted to people experiencing homelessness. The Interagency Commission on Homelessness is a group of appointed leaders of the CoC who have authority to make decisions on behalf of the CoC.
