The Muskegon County Homeless Continuum of Care Network (MCHCCN) is the collaborative and coordinating system that increases awareness and acts to promote and support services to eradicate homelessness in Muskegon County. |
|
In order to achieve this mission, the MCHCCN will:
•Include in its membership agencies, governmental entities, organizations, foundations, funding groups and others that will support and cooperate with each other working as a community to eradicate homelessness.
•Advocate for the homeless and those at risk of homelessness.
•Survey and analyze the needs of the homeless in Muskegon County in order to better identify and serve this population.
•Expand and coordinate available resources locally and through State and Federal sources.
•Identify and support housing solutions (shelters, transitional housing, permanent housing, supportive housing, and available existing private housing) as a key component in the eradication of the homeless.
•The MCHCCN does not favor one membership over another and is a system which captures the needs and perspectives of all of its members in order to identify the gaps to preventing and ending homelessness in our community. MCHCCN operates in accordance with its By-Laws and the standards developed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Michigan State Housing and Development Authority (MSHDA)

!!2025 Point-in-Time Count will be held on January 29th, 2025!!
The 2025 Point-in-Time (PIT) Count is just around the corner! This annual event brings together the Continuum of Care and dedicated volunteers to connect with individuals who are unsheltered on the last Wednesday night in January each year. The PIT Count serves as a vital opportunity to provide supplies, necessities, and snacks to those in need, while also gathering important information about their circumstances. This data creates a one-night snapshot that is submitted to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for inclusion in a nationwide annual report alongside data from other Continuums of Care.
Our goal is to locate unsheltered individuals, offer them resources, and collect basic information to better understand and address homelessness in our community. This impactful event wouldn't be possible without the incredible volunteers who brave the cold each year to make a difference. Join us in bringing hope and support to those who need it most!
