Concho Valley Council Of Governments

Concho Valley Council of Governments (COG) is a local government planning entity located in San Angelo, Texas, serving as a regional collaborative organization that supports multiple jurisdictions in the Concho Valley area. Registered in SAM.gov since 2004, the COG operates as a U.S. local government entity focused on providing comprehensive regional planning, emergency management, and community development services. The organization specializes in coordinating federal and state resources to support various community-focused programs, particularly those serving seniors, youth, and local government infrastructure needs.

Through its federal grant awards, Concho Valley COG administers multiple national service and community support programs across diverse domains. The organization manages AmeriCorps Seniors programs, including the Foster Grandparent Program and Senior Companion Program, which engage volunteers aged 55 and older in providing critical support services to children with special needs and vulnerable seniors. Additionally, the COG receives federal grants from agencies like the Corporation for National and Community Service, Office of Head Start, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission to support initiatives in elder care, nutrition services, family caregiver support, and emergency management planning. The COG also participates in regional planning projects for local jurisdictions, assisting with emergency management plan updates, conducting threat and hazard assessments, and supporting workforce development. Sub-grant awards from the Texas Governor's Office and Health & Human Services Commission demonstrate the COG's role in implementing state-level community service and public health initiatives.
