In support of the national effort to end homelessness, the Mountainland Region Continuum of Care helps local communities plan for and provide a full range of emergency, transitional and permanent housing to address needs of homeless people and families. The Continuum works closely with the local Ending Chronic Homelessness Committee and the Utah State Homeless Coordinating Committee. The Ending Homelessness Committee developed a plan to help provide services to homeless individuals and families in highneed areas around the region. This plan has been adopted by local public officials. The Continuum of Care annually requests funds for three competitive programs: the Supportive Housing Program (SHP), Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Program and Shelter Plus Care (S + C).
