The Kings/Tulare Continuum of Care on Homelessness is a consortium of partners that includes homeless service providers, advocacy groups, government agencies and homeless individuals who are working together to address the housing and support service needs of the homeless in this region of the San Joaquin Valley.
The issues associated with the homeless can be complicated. Solutions to resolve these problems require considerable time, energy and financial resources. If you wish to contribute your time and talents to this effort and have a common vision of providing housing and support services to the homeless, we welcome your support.
Connect The Dots – Action Committees Underway
The CoC has completed Connecting the Dots: A Proactive Approach for Addressing Homelessness. Action Committees for both Kings and Tulare Counties held their first meetings in March 2012.
