Eligible activities under the CoC Program include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The overarching goals of the program are to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness, enhance access to mainstream programs, and optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing housing insecurity. This federal grant award, with a performance period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, is part of York County's comprehensive approach to community welfare, focusing on housing stability, social services, public safety, and emergency response.
