The CoC Board meets every month:
The regular meeting of the Continuum of Care (COC) Board will be on the first Wednesday of each month, from 2:00 – 4:00 PM.

The next regular CoC Board meeting will be on May 1, 2024 from 2:00 – 4:00 pm.

The Continuum of Care (CoC) member Convening took place Friday, June 23rd from 9:00-10:30 am. The convening was focused on voting for an updated charter, which acts as bylaws for the CoC, and voting on members of the CoC Board (also known as the Advisory Committee).

The Continuum of Care Board and community is a federal requirement under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and plays an important role in ensuring federal funding to respond to homelessness.

We are pleased to announce that the updated charter has been approved by the members, and every Board member on the ballot was also approved.
