Help TPCH prepare the Continuum of Care (CoC) application for Tucson/Pima County. The CoC Application plays a critical role in our ability to retain and increase HUD funding for housing and services for people experiencing homelessness throughout Pima County. Each session will include a review of draft application sections and the opportunity to suggest improvements to our community’s funding application.

Operation Deep Freeze (ODF) is Tucson's winter severe-weather emergency shelter for people experiencing homelessness. ODF goes into effect when weather predictions are for overnight temperatures of 40°F or lower with rain, 35°F or lower without rain, or when wind chill factors indicate a health hazard from exposure. You do not need an ID or a TB card to participate in ODF.
