COC BOARD COMMITTEES

Coordinated Entry Policy

The committee provides policy direction for the CoC in designing its system for assessing the needs of individuals and families for housing and services, as well as the written standards for providing homeless services – including evaluating individuals’ and families’ eligibility and prioritizing who will receive assistance. 

  • Meetings would occur on a regular basis to be determined by the committee.
  • Members come from the CoC Board and, according to the Board’s  bylaws, the committee is composed of at least four members. Members that have personally experienced homelessness must be included to ensure their perspective is integrated into decision-making processes for a more effective and empathetic solution.
     

Selection and Ranking

The committee is responsible for: (1) reviewing applications for new funding opportunities, if available, during the CoC competitions and selecting new project(s) for inclusion in the CoC’s Consolidated Application; and (2) ranking all projects, including both new and renewal projects, according to the priorities identified by the COC Board. 

  • Meetings do not occur on a regular basis but are scheduled during the CoC competitions.
  • Membership may come from the CoC Board and community members without a conflict of interest in CoC project funding decisions. Members that have personally experienced homelessness must be included to ensure their perspective is integrated into decision-making processes for a more effective and empathetic solution.
     

Strategic Planning

The committee will lead the development and updating of the CoC’s strategic plan, grounded in best practices and data-informed decision making, to address the needs of families and individuals experiencing and at-risk of homelessness. The committee will lead the effort to conduct an annual gaps analysis to identify unmet needs and resource allocation priorities and will regularly review the performance of the CoC system, as well as individual projects funded through the CoC, to ensure alignment with the strategic plan and achievement of desired outcomes. This includes monitoring  progress toward established goals, evaluating the effectiveness of current strategies, and recommending adjustments as needed to maximize impact and promote continuous improvement in the community’s response to homelessness. 

  • Meetings occur on a regular basis to be determined by the committee.
  • Members come from the CoC Board and, according to the Board’s bylaws, the committee is composed of at least four members. Members that have personally experienced homelessness must be included to ensure their perspective is integrated into decision-making processes for a more effective and empathetic solution.
