The Continuum of Care Program funds efforts to end homelessness by providing community-wide support through housing and supportive services.

The Authority distributes funding to subrecipient nonprofit service providers—including organizations such as 3Keys, Inc., Caringworks, Inc., Highland Rivers Community Service Board, Avita Community Partners, Circle of Hope, and others—to deliver direct housing assistance and supportive services to homeless individuals and families. Eligible funding covers project establishment and operation costs, including property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, leasing, rental assistance, operating expenses, and supportive services designed to minimize trauma and dislocation while promoting access to mainstream programs and optimizing self-sufficiency among persons experiencing homelessness.
