The Lake County Continuum of Care is a cooperative organization of government agencies and non-profit service organizations with the expertise to develop programs to address homelessness. Its members have been assigned the responsibility of identifying the basic root causes of homelessness and developing the programs and methods to better support the needs of the homeless and those who are on the verge of becoming homeless. The following organizations were primary contributors to the work required to draft Lake County’s 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness. From mid-April, 2010 until September, 30, 2010 directors and staff members from these agencies joined Marian Norman from the Lake County Federal Grants Office and participated in bi-weekly working sessions to complete the plan.
