Thanks for wanting to learn more about the Blue Ridge Continuum of Care! We’re glad you’re here.
OUR MISSION:
Work to end the cycle of homelessness in the Blue Ridge CoC through interagency collaboration, effective allocation of resources, increased access to immediate services, and the development of new strategies. Using the community’s Coordinated Entry System (CES) as a point of contact, we will identify the service and housing needs of people who experience a housing crisis and create solutions needed to ensure that homelessness is rare, brief, and a one-time occurrence.
OUR VISION:
A community where homelessness is rare, brief, and a one-time occurrence.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
The Blue Ridge CoC Strategic Plan was developed through multiple planning sessions by the governing board and members of the CoC, in consultation with the City of Roanoke, the designated CoC collaborative applicant for HUD funding. The Plan sets the overarching goal of becoming a HUD-designated High Performing Community by December 31, 2021. Find the 2019-2021 strategic plan here.
The Blue Ridge Interagency Council on Homelessness and the Blue Ridge Continuum of Care began creating a new strategic plan in early 2022. As part of this process, an update to the 2019-2021 plan can be found here.
