Creating a Brighter Tomorrow
For Racine County

Our Mission

The Continuum of Care for the City and County of Racine's (WI-502) mission is to coordinate organizations throughout the City and County to prevent and end homelessness. The types of services offered by the CoC and Alliance member organizations include street outreach, emergency shelter, transitional housing, rapid re-housing, mental health counseling, health care, civil legal services, and more.

Federal, state, and local governments recognize the CoC as the entity responsible for carrying out the regulatory requirements found in the HUD CoC regulation. These responsibilities include planning, implementing, coordinating, and evaluating a continuum of services to prevent and end homelessness!

The Continuum of Care does not provide direct services or service referrals.

We work with service providers that provide those services, such as the HALO shelter, HOPES Center, SAFE Haven of Racine Youth Shelter, and Women's Resource Center of Racine.

If you or someone you know needs services, please click the link below for Homelessness Resources or connect with 211 Impact for available resources.
