Every day, 1,000 people are served by our region's collaborative, compassionate coalition of homeless service providers.

Over the last ten years, 11,410 people have found stable housing because of our collective work. 

In 2023, we served 9501 people experiencing homelessness through our access, shelter, and housing programs.

In 2023, we received over $10 million in coordinated funding to support our collective work of solving homelessness.

About Us

The Greater Richmond Continuum of Care (GRCoC) seeks to prevent, reduce, and end homelessness through effective and coordinated community-wide efforts and services.


GRCoC coordinates homeless services and homelessness prevention across the City of Richmond, and the counties of Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover (including the town of Ashland), Henrico, New Kent, and Powhatan.

The federal government, through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), provides a substantial portion of funding for homeless services in our region. In fact, the vast majority of public dollars used to support our most vulnerable neighbors is allocated through a HUD funding process called the Continuum of Care Program.
