Meeting ID: 289 425 012 246 7

Passcode: M6rz3SY6

Agenda:

This meeting will focus on shaping our goals for 2026. We have two meetings left in this year. I would like for us to formulate concrete objectives that we can achieve.

A few ideas that I had were:

- create a committee “one sheet” that contains our respective organization names, purpose and contact information.

- committee members attend a Point In Time count in their respective areas (FY26) and provide homeless veterans with a committee “one sheet” that contains our respective organization names, purpose and contact information. This sheet would include VA and community resources, housing, healthcare, and employment services.

- distribute our committee one sheet to all COC’s and other LA BOSCOC committees. This would provide them with an overview of our group’s mission statement, our goals, and the services we provide to prevent and address veteran homelessness. Formalize partnerships with these groups and ensure they are aware they can call on us in respects to homeless veterans so that we may provide a myriad of resources to get a homeless veteran sheltered and stabilized.

- have an open session to field other ideas/goals
