CoC

Continuum of Care

The CoC program is permanent supportive housing where Grace House holds the lease and is responsible for the utilities, and the tenant has a housing agreement with the organization. Tenants assisted through this housing type have HIV, Chemical Dependency, or another HUD-recognized disability. This housing is reserved for people experiencing homelessness, prioritizing chronically homeless persons. Chronically homeless persons have been homeless for over a year consecutively or four times or more in the past three years, totaling 12 months of homelessness. Tenants pay 30% of their adjusted monthly income to Grace House, which returns the money to services provided through this program. Our CoC Program includes the following housing options:

GRACE HOUSE FOR WOMEN

Grace House for Women provides housing and supportive services to chemically dependent homeless women as part of our CoC program. Persons assisted in this program are required to maintain sobriety to ensure the safety and well-being of self and co-participants. If someone in the program fails to maintain sobriety, every effort is made to provide additional support to help address sobriety issues to maintain tenancy. Likewise, if removal from the program is necessary to preserve the safety and well-being of others, every effort will be made to ensure continued housing through another Grace House of community partner program.

Scattered-site Housing

In addition to GHW scattered-site, permanent housing is also provided through Master Leases under the CoC program for households who are chronically homeless and have a household member with a qualifying diagnosis.
