The Continuum of Care (CoC) program is designed to promote communitywide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness by providing funding for efforts by nonprofit providers and Baltimore County and State governments. These efforts create and promote access to, and effect utilization of, mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families. 

Baltimore County Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is the lead agency for the County’s CoC program. DHCD supports the work of the CoC Governance Board, manages the County’s Homeless Management Information System and facilitates quarterly meetings of the CoC membership.
