The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness. Every year we evaluate the following measures to assess our system’s progress towards our goal of ending homelessness:

• Length of time persons remain homeless 
• The extent to which persons who exit homelessness to permanent housing destinations return to homelessness 
• Number of persons experiencing homelessness (reported in the PIT Count) 
• Employment and income growth for homeless persons in CoC-funded projects 

• Number of persons who experience homelessness for the first time 
• Successful placement from street outreach and successful placement in or retention of permanent housing
