The heart of the Guilford County Continuum of Care (CoC) is its membership.
Membership in the CoC is open to any organization or individual that has an interest in the community-wide commitment to prevent and end homelessness in Guilford County. The CoC defines this commitment by the willingness to assist and impact the lives of people who are experiencing homelessness, as well as to prevent and end the socially important condition of homelessness. The Guilford County CoC includes all parts of Guilford County, North Carolina.
The Guilford County CoC Membership meets on the second Thursday of each month from 9:30-11:30 a.m. Meetings are currently being held via Zoom. Zoom link can be located under upcoming events on the CoC Home Page.
Email infoCoC@guilfordcountync.gov if you have any questions.
