Leadership

The Continuum of Care General Membership (Also referred to as Continuum of Care) is a year-round planning body of representative stakeholders in the community’s work toward ending homelessness. Its work includes gathering and analyzing information in order to determine the local needs of people experiencing homelessness, implement strategic responses, and measure results.

  • The Continuum of Care Board is a group of elected and appointed leaders of the CoC who have authority to make decisions on behalf of the Continuum of Care.

  • The Continuum of Care Committees are the action planning components of the CoC. In the Committees, strategies are developed, deepened and expanded.

  • The Continuum of Care Lead Agency provides technical, administrative and meeting support to the CoC, it’s Board and the Committees. The Housing, Health and Human Services Alliance of Rutherford County (H3ARC) serves as our Lead Agency.

  • The Collaborative Applicant is designated by the CoC to prepare and submit the CoC funding application to HUD each year.
