The DuPage County Continuum of Care (CoC) offers grant recipients resources to assist with meeting specific grant requirements for which they are responsible, or CoC-wide training sessions to provide relevant educational and informational opportunities for CoC providers and community partners.
Public Benefits Training
The CoC provides access to up-to-date information on mainstream resources available for program participants (e.g., Food Stamps, SSI, TANF, substance abuse programs) within the CoC’s geographic area through the DuPage Federation on Human Services Reform.
