where we are
This statewide coalition is comprised of 22 local homeless coalitions, representing 69 counties and 1 Tribal Nation throughout the state of Wisconsin.
history
The BOSCOC has been in existence since 1992. Until 2009, the State of Wisconsin, Division of Housing organized training and the HUD Continuum of Care annual grant application submission. Under the State’s auspices, there was an Advisory Board formed. Once the State removed itself from the affairs of the BOSCOC, the organization became an unincorporated association. Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws were approved by the State of Wisconsin in February of 2011.
The BOSCOC covers 69 of Wisconsin’s 72 counties and extends from the shores of Lake Superior in the northwest to portions of the Chicago metro area in the southeast. The population for the continuum is 3.8 million and it covers an area of 52,533 square miles. The BOSCOC has met regularly since its inception at various locations around the state and brings together people from a wide geographic area that includes urban, suburban and rural areas. All members share a common purpose to provide quality homeless services in an effort to end homelessness. Local coalitions meet regularly and representatives from these groups make up the BOSCOC.
The BOSCOC was operated directly through the volunteer Board of Directors. In May 2015, the Board of Directors hired Carrie as the Executive Director. Over the last ten years, the CoC has added 8 staff to adhere to monitoring and compliance requirements and CoC coordination requirements.
