Committees
Each committee brings a unique focus—whether it’s data, funding, equity, or planning—but they don’t operate in silos. These committees work both independently and collaboratively to ensure every decision reflects the diverse voices of our community: service providers, government partners, business leaders, and people with lived experience. Through this collective structure, we create a homelessness response system that’s informed, inclusive, and truly community-driven.

Strengthens and monitors the system that connects people to the right housing and services, fairly and consistently.
Identifies and address gaps in housing access so everyone—regardless of background or circumstance—has a fair shot at housing.
Our committees thrive on diverse perspectives—whether you’re a service provider, housing expert, data enthusiast, or just someone who cares deeply about ending homelessness. Every voice matters, and your insights can help shape real, lasting change.
Most of our committees are open to anyone in the community—agency staff, government partners, business leaders, and concerned citizens—who share our commitment to ending homelessness.
Committee meeting schedules vary, but most meet monthly or quarterly. Meeting details are posted on our calendar and open to members and the public unless otherwise noted.
No. While CoC membership is encouraged, many of our committees welcome participation from anyone with relevant expertise or lived experience.
