The NYC Continuum of Care
Coalition is a COMMUNITY coalition made up of nonprofit organizations,
homeless people, government officials and other stakeholders who
are responsible for setting the priorities used in NYC for the distribution
of funding from HUD through the McKinney Vento Act. To get involved
in the Continuum of Care Process as a voting member through the
NYC AIDS Housing Network, call Sean at (718) 802-9540.
NYCAHN organizational member, Housing
Works, fought to open up membership to the coalition through a law
suit after the Giuliani administration left them off of the ranking
list for funding illegally. NYCAHN co-founder, Joe Capestany was
the first homeless person to be a voting member and he worked, along
with Anthony Williams, to fight for the coalition to include the full
and equal participation of homeless individuals.
NYCAHN board members Cameron
Craig and Laverne Holley
and organizational representatives, Kenneth
Robinson, Housing Works are all voting members.
