committees
The Committees are formed in an effort to meet the COC plan as outlined by HUD through the COC Interim Rule. These committees are working on tasks that add to the organizational foundation of the BOSCOC. It is expected that each local COC will have representation on each of the committees, so information can be shared at the local coalition level. Each committee is chaired by at least 1 Board Member. **minutes have been archived for 2014-15 and can be found on the Archive page.
