The Continuum of Care Advisory Board operates as an unincorporated association, while the RTFH supports the CoC Advisory Board as a separate legal entity, serving as the HUD Collaborative Applicant, and the Administrative Entity for all funding related to the HEARTH Act.

The Advisory Board members are selected through an inclusive process involving both the Advisory Board and the CoC’s General Membership.  Members of the CoC Advisory Board provide a mix of skills to provide the necessary breadth and depth of knowledge and experience to meet the Advisory Board’s responsibilities and objectives. The Advisory Board strives to ensure the composition appropriately represents the interests of the Continuum of Care stakeholders, the local community, and reflects diversity in its composition by recruiting members with varied geographical, racial, ethnic, social, economic, environmental, business, and cultural backgrounds. The Advisory Board maintains a reasonable balance with respect to age and gender and must also include at least two individuals who are currently, or formerly, homeless. More information about the federal requirements of a CoC Board can be found here.
