The Detroit Continuum of Care’s vision is a collective response to prevent and end homelessness, grounded in racial equity, where:
The system is led by people who have experienced homelessness and who reflect the community
PTaylor @ptdocsdetroit 5/65
Members of the community rarely experience homelessness, and when they do, it’s for a short time and only once
Homelessness and housing priorities are intentionally aligned for housing security
Housing and services are rooted in dignity
PTaylor @ptdocsdetroit 6/65

HAND is governed by a Board of Directors composed of representatives from the community. In its role as the lead agency for the CoC, HAND carries out the following activities:

Promote integrated, community-wide strategies and plans to prevent and end homelessness;

Provide coordination among the numerous local organizations and initiatives that serve the homeless population, and

Manage the CoC’s single, comprehensive grant application to HUD for McKinney-Vento funding which includes Continuum of Care funds and State Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds.
