The CoC Board of Directors collaborates with other local, state and federal entities to address the needs of the homeless community. The CoC was established in response to a mandate from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to facilitate the coordination of the community’s human services agencies and the community-at-large in order to adequately set strategies for addressing the needs of the county’s impoverished populations. For more information, go to fcccoc.org.
Cumberland County Community Development is a partner agency and works with CoC to address the needs of the homeless population and persons at risk of becoming homeless in the county. With funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Community Development administers programs that benefit
low/moderate income families; aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or meet an urgent need that poses a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community.
