- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
This summer, the Fredericksburg Regional Continuum of Care will be holding its first summer Point In Time count and is calling on community volunteers to help administer the survey. The PIT count update will help our Continuum of Care identify those experiencing homelessness that may not have been identified in the previous count earlier this year. With this data, we can more accurately determine the level of homelessness in our region and ascertain the most effective way to help these families and individuals achieve housing stability.
The summer PIT count will be held on Thursday,July 30th with volunteer training being held on Wednesday,July 15 th and Thursday, July 16 th. The sign up form for this year can be filled out here: http://goo.gl/forms/lAR5fhkvIm

Mission Statement
The mission of the Fredericksburg Regional Continuum of Care is to develop, promote, and support a continuum of human services and housing opportunities that reduce and prevent homelessness in our community.
Description
A Continuum of Care (CoC) is a federally-mandated local planning body that coordinates housing and services for homeless families and individuals. A CoC is made up of organizations and individuals that work together to develop long and short-term strategic plans to ending homelessness in their area. The CoC brings many community partners together to discuss trends in homelessness and to design a system to effectively and efficiently provide services for the needs of the homeless population.
The Fredericksburg Regional Continuum of Care (CoC) services all of Planning District 16, covering the City of Fredericksburg and the counties of Caroline, King George, Spotsylvania, and Stafford. The CoC began in the 1990s as a collective of homeless services providers interested in working together toward ending homelessness in the Fredericksburg region. Over the years, the CoC has formalized into a coordinated network of over 40 agencies who work together on the initiative to end homelessness in our region. The CoC is led and staffed by the George Washington Regional Commission
