Larimer County's Office of Housing Stability does not provide direct services (including distribution of clothing, food, or operation of emergency shelters). Our role is to assist community agencies doing the work by helping align regional efforts, inspire critical conversations and inspire policy to improve the lives of our community.
This office recognizes that homelessness is a complex issue that takes an entire community of collaboration and action in order to streamline solutions. Along with the Northern Colorado Continuum of Care, this office is working with service providers and community members to make homelessness rare, brief and non-recurring, through providing efficient systems of response.
Northern Colorado Continuum of Care:The causes of homelessness are complex, but the solution is straightforward. We need to house people. The Northern Colorado Continuum of Care (NoCO CoC) supports a coordinated community-wide system capable of quickly connecting people experiencing homelessness to permanent housing and supportive services.
The City of Fort Collins does not provide direct service. Rather, the City's efforts are focused on funding community agencies, convening critical conversations, and policy development. All those working to making homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring in our community rare unified in the desire to build better systems, use data and collaboration to best respond, and recognize the myriad challenges that lead to homelessness in the first place.
