The Fight to End Homelessness
The Continuum of Care is a community of individuals and providers that coordinates and support the delivery of housing and services to individuals experiencing homelessness as they move to stable housing and maximum self-sufficiency. The Upstate CoC is made up of more than 80 agencies taking action to end homelessness. Serving 13 counties in Upstate, SC, the Continuum of Care aims to prevent, reduce and end homelessness through the coordination of agencies in our communities.
The 13 counties that make up the CoC include Abbeville, Anderson, Cherokee, Edgefield, Greenville, Greenwood, Laurens, McCormick, Oconee, Pickens, Saluda, Spartanburg and Union. For a full list of participating agencies in these 13 counties please click here.
United Housing Connections coordinates the CoC's efforts throughout 13 counties in the Upstate and is the collaborative applicant for the HUD CoC Program Grant. UHC is also the HMIS Lead Agency and employs the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) administrator for the region.
