The Continuum of Care (CoC) is the greater Indianapolis community’s approach to addressing homelessness, made up of local individuals and organizations committed to the prevention and intervention including CHIP Indy, our lead support agency. To achieve our goal of ending homelessness in Indianapolis, we identify critical needs in the community and address them by building lasting systems of housing and service.

Current CoC Workgroups
To advance our shared goals and key strategies, CHIP works with CoC partners to organize workgroups focused on planning, implementing, and assessing our progress. Each workgroup is tied to a specific strategy or priority of the CoC and should be inclusive of a diverse group of stakeholders and practitioners responsible for translating strategy into action. Every workgroup has a facilitator, a clear focus, and an annual action plan.
