letters of support
Organizations may request a letter of support from the Balance of State CoC. This includes but is not limited to requests for funding, services, waivers, recognition, or any other situation in which a letter of support could be useful. All letters of support require that an organization provide evidence and support to demonstrate the following:
1) Good standing with the Balance of State CoC – including monitoring, policies, and coordinated entry
2) Participation in a local coalition – including but not limited to attendance in meetings, involvement in workgroups and planning, collaboration activities
3) Participation at the CoC level – including but not limited to attendance in meetings and involvement on a committee
4) Participation in the Point-in-Time count within the Balance of State CoC
5) Active participation in coordinated entry
Requests and questions should be directed to Carrie Poser, CoC Director, atcarrie.poser@wibos.org.
Once these five elements have been verified, the BOS staff reserve the right to request additional information in order to draft a letter specific to the organization’s request for support. BOS staff will review the materials, ensure the request follows the WIBOSCOC mission and purpose, and is in the best interest of the organization as a whole. If a request for a letter of support is denied, the reason(s) for the denial will be made in writing.
