Lived Experience Working Group

Beginning in 2024, River Valleys CoC is restarting its efforts to establish an ongoing group of people with lived experience of homelessness to guide and inform CoC decision-making that affects the homeless response system.  

The Lived Experience Group will allow people from southeast and south central Minnesota to discuss, learn about, evaluate, and provide feedback on services in our area to better serve people experiencing homelessness in the region.  

Members of the Lived Experience Group will have voting power on policy decisions of the CoC. Stipends for participation and reimbursement of eligible costs related to participation are available. See the Stipends page for more information. 

Interested in joining? 

Contact the Engagement Coordinator for information.
