Homeless Assistance Programs
The San Joaquin County Neighborhood Preservation Division is the Administrative Entity (AE) for several federal and state grant programs that provide direct assistance to homeless individuals and families. They include Continuum of Care (CoC), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) State and Federal, California Emergency Solutions and Housing (CESH) and Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP). Funds for these programs are received through HUD's Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Grant Application process, the Annual Action Plan application process, and the State application process. These programs are a yearly competitive grant application process coordinated by the Neighborhood Preservation Division and the San Joaquin Continuum of Care.
Continuum of Care (CoC)
“Continuum of Care” is a program developed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in 1994 to promote community-wide discussion and commitment to the goal of ending homelessness. San Joaquin Continuum of Care (SJCoC) strives to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring, supported by a robust homeless crisis response system. People experiencing homelessness will be empowered through a responsive system that provides effective and supportive services and housing, efficiently leveraging public and private resources.
