CoC Priorities

The CoC Priorities were developed to help guide and inform CoC initiatives and funding work for 2023.

The CoC will prioritize increasing the local affordable housing supply by:

Prioritizing projects for CoC funding that create new/additional permanent housing units for people experiencing homelessness
Working with PHAs to increase access to PHA vouchers/subsidies for people experiencing homelessness and to develop move-on strategies to increase the number of PSH units available for the most vulnerable people experiencing homelessness
Advocating for increased affordable housing funding, and
Engaging local leaders around zoning and land use reform to increase the affordable housing supply

Delaware's Action Plan to End Homelessness

Ending homelessness means that we have a responsive and accessible system of supports that:

Prevents homelessness

whenever possible

Provides

appropriate crisis shelter

to all people & families in need

Quickly helps people move back into housing

in the community

Provides

housing stability supports

so that no one returns to homelessness

When we end homelessness in Delaware, homelessness will be rare, brief, and non-recurring. We believe that this can be achieved by engaging each person with a strength-based approach that builds on their resilience, reduces their risks, and improves their lives from the safety and dignity of their own homes.
