Suppose M is a noncompact connected PL 2-manifold and let H(M) 0 denote the identity component of the homeomorphism group of M with the compact-open topology. In this paper we classify the homotopy type of H(M) 0 by showing that H(M) 0 has the homotopy type of the circle if M is the plane, an open o
