Achieving goals that could not be attained by one organization alone is
collaboration. 

The Community Coordinating Council (CCC) is the State-endorsed community collaborative for Muskegon County, Michigan. Over 45 organizations engaged in providing or funding human services for area residents are members of the CCC.
 
The CCC is organized to promote effective human services through collaboration, integration and support. Member organizations are committed to sharing ideas, issues and solutions to improve income, life, learning and community for everyone in Muskegon County.
 
  
           
 
The Community Coordinating Council is supporting the U.S. Census Bureau in ensuring every resident will Be Counted in 2010. Census data will determine congressional districting and the distribution of over $300 billion in federal funding.
