Since 1995, the Pasadena Partnership to End Homelessness has served as the lead agency for the Pasadena Continuum of Care. The Continuum of Care (CoC) is a planning process implemented by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in 1994. As one of the largest sources of federal funding for programs that address the needs of people who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless, HUD recognized the need for a more coordinated, collaborative, and community-driven approach to allocating resources to communities. The Continuum of Care process is the process by which communities identify local needs, develop strategies, and submit a single application to HUD for funding for programs designed to meet the needs in the community.

The Pasadena Partnership is governed by a Board of Directors composed of representatives from the community. In its role as the lead agency for the CoC, the Pasadena Partnership promotes integrated, community-wide strategies and plans to prevent and end homelessness; provides coordination among the numerous local organizations and initiatives that serve the homeless population, and manage the CoC’s single, comprehensive grant application to HUD for McKinney-Vento funding which includes Continuum of Care funds and State Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds.

Our Mission

The Pasadena Partnership to End Homelessness is dedicated to planning and developing evidence-based strategies to prevent and end homelessness in Pasadena, CA.

How We Help

The Pasadena Partnership develops strategies to end homelessness, manages the CoC’s grant application to HUD for Continuum of Care funds and State Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds, and increases public education and participation.

Board of Directors

The Pasadena Partnership is governed by a Board of Directors composed of representatives from the community who together provide proactive leadership that engages policy makers as well as the community to work to end homelessness in Pasadena.

Our Solutions

We believe that the solution to homelessness in Pasadena is simple: permanent housing. In our role as the lead agency for the CoC, the Pasadena Partnership promotes integrated, community-wide strategies to prevent and end homelessness.

New Projects and Transition Grants

The Pasadena CoC actively encourages new and existing providers, including faith-based organizations, to apply for new projects through available CoC Bonus or DV Bonus funding during the CoC competition. Operators of existing renewal permanent housing projects are encouraged to apply for a transition grant to convert the existing program to transitional housing. All new projects must submit applications no later than December 29, 2025 at 2:00 PM PST to be considered for inclusion in the CoC application.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) scores the annual CoC Program Consolidated Application that is submitted by the City of Pasadena Department of Housing (as the Collaborative Applicant for the CoC) and solely determines which projects (if any) are selected for funding. Projects that are selected for inclusion in the annual CoC application during the local competition are not guaranteed a contract award.

New Projects and Transition Grant Applications

On December 3, 2025 the Pasadena CoC will host a New Projects and Transition Grant Application workshop at 10:00 a.m. PST via Zoom. All interested applicants are strongly encouraged to attend the workshop to understand eligible project types and submit any questions.
