D. CONTINUUM OF CARE NARRATIVE <br />HUD has placed significant emphasis on addressing the needs of the nation's homeless through <br />a Continuum of Care system. A Continuum of Care (CoC) is a comprehensive and coordinated <br />housing and service delivery strategy that responds to the different needs of homeless and at- <br />risk individuals and families, and helps them attain self- sufficiency. As a recipient of CDBG, <br />HOME, ESG and HOPWA funds, Santa Ana supported numerous pu 'c and nonprofit agencies <br />that reach out to the homeless, bring them into the system re, and facilitate their <br />movement toward self - sufficiency. Actions undertaken during 09 -2010 report period are <br />outlined below. Detailed summaries of HUD - funded activ' Iso found in IRIS reports <br />incorporated into this performance report. <br />1.
