Committees
The Western Virginia Continuum of Care (CoC) is governed by five standing committees, three working committees, and an ad hoc committee. The committees establish CoC policies and procedures and strategically guide the group’s efforts to prevent and end homelessness in the Shenandoah Valley. All committees report to the Executive Committee and may, from time to time at the Executive Committee’s discretion, propose policies and initiatives to the CoC for consideration.
General Meetings
The entire Western Virginia CoC meets six times a year at different locations across the CoC (usually Harrisonburg, Woodstock, and Winchester) to promote networking and coordination across agencies and to inform the work of CoC committees with on-the-ground information and experience.
These meetings are open to any and all community members and organizations interested in the CoC’s mission to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring.
