2020 Meeting Schedule (Printable)
Participating in CoC meetings
Agendas are distributed via CoC lists, approximately one week before the scheduled meeting dates. Sign up for weekly emails to receive meeting announcements and agendas, as well as funding announcements, advocacy opportunities, employment, information resources, and regional training and event notices.
Voting: Members present at any properly announced meeting constitute a quorum. Issues presented to the CoC members for a vote will be decided by simple majority of the votes cast. The exceptions to this are the project ranking for the annual HUD CoC application and any decisions that involve funding; in these cases each organization that has had representation at 50% or more of meetings held in the previous twelve calendar months shall have one vote. Become a member by signing the Member Agreement and Code of Conduct, and submitting them to Jennifer in person or at jprins@threeriverscap.org.
Bad Weather Policy: If schools are cancelled due to weather anywhere in the region, the meeting will be cancelled. To hear if a meeting has been cancelled or changed, you may call 507-316-0610 and listen to the recording after 6:30a.m. on the meeting day.
Participation Stipend for Homeless/Formerly Homeless Persons
The CoC invites and encourages participation in CoC planning and decision-making by people who have experienced homelessness. To reduce cost barriers to participation, the CoC provides a small stipend and may reimburse for certain costs related to travel, meals, and daycare incurred by the participant as a result of participation in CoC meetings. (Reimbursements are available for in-person meetings only.) For more detail, see the CoC stipend policy.
