WHAT IS GUAM’S CONTINUUM OF CARE SYSTEM?
On Guam, the Continuum of Care system is made up primarily of an ad hoc committee of homeless providers, mainstream service providers and community stakeholders. The system has evolved through community experiences, economic trends and community awareness of a growing and diverse homeless population in our island. Throughout the ninety’s, ongoing dialogue among non-profit organizations, government, and other public and private agencies concerning homeless issues have centered around the need to invest in a population seen as “at-risk”, along with existing homeless families and individuals in the community.
