What is your vision for the new Asheville-Buncombe Continuum of Care?
At the first membership meeting on February 29th, we asked you to write down one word that captures your vision for the future of the Continuum of Care. This word cloud was created using nearly 100 answers! We look forward to working towards this collaborative, unified, equitable CoC - together.

In each newsletter, we will spotlight one of the shared values and guiding principles described in the Governance Charter. All CoC members agree to adhere to these as part of a commitment to building a collaborative approach to ending homelessness.
Be Bold
The CoC will remain faithful to the aggressive goals, strategies, and actions it commits to, even when there are tough decisions to be made. The CoC will not settle for half measures that disregard the needs of its most vulnerable citizens.
