Recognitions
As part of COA's ongoing effort to add practical value to accreditation and encourage human service organizations to meet standards for efficient management and high-quality service, COA has pursued recognition of COA accreditation from entities that fund and/or license human service organizations. Recognition highlights the value of COA accreditation and serves as a benchmark for governmental entities.
Currently, COA is recognized in over two hundred instances in 45 states, the District of Columbia, one Canadian province, and China.
