Purpose
Per HUD, CoCs are responsible for regularly reviewing and updating their Governance documents. CoC staff have drafted an update of the Governance Charter (Governance Charter v. 4.2) and presented the draft to the CoC’s membership during the March Monthly Meeting held March 11, 2024. You can make public comments by submitting them to CoC Coordinators Andrew Dietz (adietz@lhc.la.gov) or Brett Burns (bburns@lhc.la.gov). The deadline for public comment is 4p Friday, April 12th, 2024.
A vote to ratify the updated Governance Charter will be held at the virtual General Meeting on April 15. All CoC members in Good Standing are eligible and encouraged to participate in this vote.
What’s New in v.4.2
A detailed list of updates can be found in Appendix A of the Governance Charter V.4.2 draft linked below.
Some highlights:
Made formatting changes to increase assistive technology accessibility
Edited language to be more person centered/up to date
Codified subpopulation Working Groups as Chartered Committees
Clarified existing policies/practices around Good Standing, Board votes, and Open Meeting policies
