The CoC Program funds initiatives designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and provide rapid rehousing and supportive services to homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation.

Permissible uses of funds include CoC planning activities, fiscal control and accounting functions, real property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs. These activities will be delivered in collaboration with nonprofit service providers, local governments, and other stakeholders to address housing insecurity and homelessness across the Atlanta metropolitan area and Georgia.
