About Us

The Northeast Minnesota Continuum of Care (NE CoC) is a broad coalition of community partners that has been working together since 1997 to coordinate efforts to prevent and end homelessness in Northeast Minnesota.​

The NE CoC region includes 6 rural counties in Northeast Minnesota - Aitkin, Carlton, Cook, Itasca, Koochiching and Lake counties - and parts of the Bois Forte, Fond du Lac, Grand Portage, Leech Lake & Mille Lacs Indian Reservations.

​​Key organizations participate in the CoC and organize and participate in local homeless coalitions. These organizations and local coalitions do the critical grass-roots work of developing services and housing options for unhoused people; running high quality programs; coordinating resources efficiently; identifying people who do not have housing; educating the public about homelessness, and advocating for new resources to meet needs.  Their efforts are the backbone of the accomplishments that have been made toward ending homelessness in Northeast MN.
