CoC Planning

As the lead agency in the Fort Worth/Arlington/Tarrant County TX-601 Continuum of Care, HUD has charged TCHC with administrative, financial, and monitoring responsibilities. Our main purpose is to develop a long-term strategic plan and manage a year-round planning effort that addresses the identified needs of homeless individuals and households, the availabiling and accessibility of existing housing and services, and the opportunities for linkages with mainstream housing and services resources.

TCHC is also responsible for applying for the annual HUD Continuum of Care Grant. The application includes broad community participation, identifying resources and gaps in services, action steps to end homelessness, homeless prevention, and establishing local funding priorities. We anticipate to receive $10.1 million from the 2009 submission, our highest amount yet, which brings our total to $91 million brought into our community to prevent and end homelessness since 1995.
