Programs
Ohio balance of state continuum of careon behalf of ohio, cohhio provides leadership and primary staff support to the ohio balance of state continuum of care (boscoc), a regional homeless services planning and coordination body comprised of 80 counties. In this role, cohhio manages the boscoc program and systems-level performance, leads strategic planning efforts, leads the coordinated entry process, and facilitates the annual application process for federal homeless dollars. In 2023, cohhio helped secure more than $25 million in federal homeless program funds for the boscoc to support transitional housing, rapid re-housing, and permanent supportive housing programs. As part of the boscoc, the homeless management information systems (hmis) unit collects and maintains data on homeless individuals in homeless assistance programs within the continuum of care. The data is used to help determine the efficacy of these programs and to improve the overall system response to homelessness. The hmis unit was instrumental in providing the housing inventory chart and point in time count data during 2023, along with ensuring the coc could meet all federal homeless system reporting requirements.…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
