By joining the Housing Ladder, tenants make their units available to people experiencing homelessness.
Continuum of Care (CoC)
The Continuum of Care provides rental assistance and supportive services for homeless individuals who have long-term disabilities resulting mainly from serious mental illness, alcohol and drug use, or an HIV-positive medical condition. In partnership with the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Services, THC provides case management and supportive services to help participants maintain stability in permanent housing.
