The Louisiana Balance of State Continuum of Care (LA BOSCOC) Board, which is the LA BOSCOC’s primary governing body, will meet Friday, August 30, from 11 AM to noon.
This meeting will focus on three topics:
Approving the remaining key documents for the FY 2021 CoC Program NOFO. Click here for more information and to review those documents.
Reviewing non-competitive project expansions. The LA BOSCOC Board has offered to consider expansion requests from current subrecipients of two systems-level CoC Program-funded projects, “Coordinated Entry” and “HMIS.” The Board will review proposals and determine their funding mechanism in relation to the FY 2021 CoC Program NOFO local competition General Funding Pool.
Special population: people living in disaster shelters. More than 200 people are currently living in disaster shelters in the LA BOSCOC. Part of this population includes people who were experiencing homelessness before Hurricane Ida or who were precariously housed before Hurricane Ida and cannot be returned to housing via FEMA rental assistance. The Board will consider whether to designate one or both of these populations as a special population for the purposes of Coordinated Entry prioritization.
