The LA BOSCOC regularly reviews and updates its local policies that govern the work of the providers and other entities of the CoC. Committees, with help from leadership and CoC staff, worked over the last year to review and update relevant policy documents to ensure our CoC continues to effectively serve our community. These revised policies will be presented to the LA BOSCOC Board at the regularly scheduled Board meeting on April 1st.
