El Paso Continuum of Care
The El Paso Continuum of Care serves as the Continuum of Care (CoC) for its geographic area of El Paso County. The Continuum of Care (CoC) was designed to address homelessness through a coordinated community-based process of identifying needs and building a system of housing and services to address those needs. The El Paso CoC seeks to prevent, reduce and end homelessness through effective coordinated community-wide efforts and services. CoC Governance Charter May 2020 Final
What is a Continuum of Care (CoC) Collaborative Applicant?
Since 1994, the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
has required communities to come together to submit a single, comprehensive application for HUD funds for housing and supportive services for people who have experienced homelessness. In 2009, Congress passed the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act and designed the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program to:
- Promote a community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness, and
- Quickly rehouse individuals and families experiencing homelessness, increase their access and utilization of mainstream social supports and optimize their self-sufficiency.
COC BOARD
A successful Continuum of Care (CoC) should have a year-round planning process that is coordinated, inclusive and outcome-oriented. The El Paso CoC has a governing body and a number of sub-committees or working groups. The membership of the governing body is decided through an open and democratic process and is representative of private, nonprofit and public sectors.
CoC Board Bylaws can be found here: 2024 CoC Board Bylaws (Revised August2024)
The El Paso Continuum of Care is governed by a CoC Board composed of representatives from across the community.
Voting for the CoC Board has been postponed.
If you are part of the General Membership, please contact Camille Castillo for information about the vote.
More information will become available once the new board is voted on.
All regularly scheduled meetings will be on the 2nd Thursday of each month, from 4:00 – 5:30 PM at a location set by the chair or CoC Board (in the agenda) or via zoom. If you would like to sign up for public comment, please contact Camille Castillo at [email protected].

HUD Renews Funding for Thousands of Local Homeless Programs |
|
On January 29, 2021, HUD awarded $2.5 billion to renew support to thousands of local homeless assistance programs across the nation. HUD’s Continuum of Care (CoC) grants will provide critically needed support to 6,597 local programs on the front lines of serving individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Due to the pandemic, the funding announced today renews grants for existing programs. This process was dramatically streamlined because communities have been and will continue to be consumed with COVID-19 response and have limited capacity to participate in the traditional CoC competition. View a complete list of all the state and local homeless projects awarded funding on HUD’s website. |
