The purpose of this group will be to continue to provide regional leadership on the issue of Veteran homelessness, review data and address challenges, and coordinate the effort to end Veteran homelessness across San Diego County. The committee aligns its work with the strategies within the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness’s Federal Criteria and Benchmarks for Achieving the Goal of Ending Veteran Homelessness. These include identifying all Veterans experiencing homelessness, providing shelter immediately to any Veteran experiencing unsheltered homelessness who wants it, providing service-intensive transitional housing only in limited instances, building capacity to quickly move Veterans into permanent housing, and addressing Veterans who are at-risk of homelessness. The committee also coordinates efforts with the CoC’s involvement and activities within the national Built for Zero initiative with Community Solutions focused on measuring an end state on Veteran homelessness across the CoC.
CoC Board Committees
CoC Board Committees serve to provide expertise, guidance, and practical support informing the work of the CoC Board. Such groups provide multiple opportunities for community engagement, collaboration on, and contribution to, those issues and concerns facing the CoC.
For decisions about new issues or actions not readily assignable to an existing Committee, the CoC Board may make a decision after soliciting and considering recommendations from an existing Committee, or the CoC Board will form a new Ad Hoc Committee to consider the issue and provide recommendations.
