At COTS, our mission is to assist those experiencing homelessness to find and keep housing, increase self-sufficiency and improve well-being. We envision a community where everyone has a place to call home.
For over 35 years, COTS has been support those most vulnerable in our community by providing hot and nutritious meals daily to anyone in need and a range of services to support people in reaching their short- and long-term housing, healthcare and employment goals. Our programs and services are rooted in a deep understanding of the experience of homelessness – and are shaped by an evidence-based approach that emphasizes dignity, care and inclusivity for our clients.
COTS staff collaborates between case management, medical care, and community resources to ensure clients have access to the care they need, whether they are staying in short-term shelter or are in one of our long-term housing programs. All of our services are designed to give clients a chance at finding and keeping housing.
“Thank God for COTS.”. He tells his boys, “If it wasn’t for COTS, I wouldn’t have you back in my life.”
