One Roof is the clearing house and center of coordination for the homeless Continuum of Care system of central Alabama. As a continuum organization, One Roof coordinates services provided by homeless agencies regionally. With [[PromisSE]], One Roof member agencies are stronger, as they can collaborate with each other for services and projects and lean on each other for support. Member agencies are also more efficient because the continuum helps prevent duplicate services and helps agencies identify and fill gaps in services. One Roof advocates for people experiencing homelessness by providing internal and external education and working on a national level to bring HUD supportive housing dollars to the region. One Roof also provides our homeless CoC with a dedicated [[SOAR]] social worker. While One Roof itself is not a shelter and we do not provide regular direct services to the homeless, in just the past five years, One Roof has secured over $40 million for homeless services in the region.  We also provide information and referrals daily for people in housing crisis. One Roof is a 501(c)(3) organization whose members include municipal leaders, faith-based and grassroots organizations, local hospitals, citizens, service providers, and both homeless and formerly homeless individuals.
One Roof's data management system, known as "PromisSE", increases the efficiency of partner agencies by identifying gaps and duplications in service. The organization also supports lobbying and grant application efforts on behalf of programs for the homeless and provides a dedicated social worker to the Continuum of Care venture, supporting efforts to link clients with existing support programs. One Roof also provides community and direct education programs, including referrals for people and families facing housing crises.
