Rhode Island Continuum of Care
RIHousing’s role in the Rhode Island Continuum of Care (RICoC) is twofold:
- Designated Collaborative Applicant agency for RICoC and responsible for overseeing its annual funding competition, compliance processes and system planning and policy oversight.
- Recipient of over $4 million in CoC funding that we steward throughout the state through subcontracts with 8-10 subrecipient agencies.
We post policies, forms, procedures, information, instructions and updates to RICoC section of our website for subrecipients, program participants and the general public.
