CoC Network Meetings

River Valleys CoC holds open meetings on a monthly basis to learn and coordinate our response to homelessness.

Unless otherwise indicated, CoC meetings are held virtually using the Zoom platform. When the Full CoC meets in person, meeting locations rotate across the 20-county region to increase access for more people.

If you would like to host an in-person CoC meeting in your community, please contact Jennifer.  Space needs: Accessible entry, restrooms, and passage to meeting space; Room for 50-60 people seated at tables; Projector and screen; Microphone; Kitchenette, if possible.

Calendar

Participating in CoC meetings

The Continuum of Care is open to anyone who wants to contribute to a systemic and regional approach to ending homelessness. Participants include agency representatives, people with lived experience of homelessness, and other community members.

Virtual meetings 

​The Full CoC Network (all members and participants from the public) meets virtually most of the time. All CoC virtual meetings are being held via the Zoom meeting platform.

Voting

All members in the CoC are allowed to vote on most items of business. For votes on project rankings and the regional application for HUD CoC funding, voting is limited to CoC members who have attended at least 50% of Full CoC meetings in the previous 12 months.

Bad Weather Policy 

(For in-person meetings only) If schools are cancelled due to weather anywhere in the region, the meeting will be cancelled. 

Meeting Materials

Agendas and Meeting notes for the Full CoC are posted below for a period of at least one year.
