Connecting Families to Essential Resources and Services

Established in 1995 by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the St. Johns County Continuum of Care (COC) combats homelessness in the community by funding rehousing initiatives, supporting homelessness prevention programs, and collaborating with partner organizations and agencies to promote lasting solutions.

Providing Multiple Grants Through a Collaborative Partnership

UF Health is the lead agency for the St. Johns County Continuum of Care, bringing its healthcare expertise and community resources to the forefront of the initiative. The hospital collaborates with various local organizations and service providers to ensure a comprehensive approach to homelessness in the region. 

Additionally, the COC offers several grants that support its mission, including the Challenge Grant and Emergency Solutions Grant. These grants are instrumental in funding various programs and services offered by key organizations that advocate for and provide resources to those experiencing homelessness.
