Area providers asked to imagine “ideal CoC”

Posted on 06/23/2019 by Admin

Twenty Salem-area homeless housing and services providers attended a second informational meeting about forming a regional CoC, sponsored by the Mid-Willamette Homeless Initiative Steering Committee. Seven had not attended the initial meeting in April 2019 (listed in bold below). The meeting was held at The Salvation Army Ray & Joan Kroc Corps Community Center.

Also in attendance were staff from HUD’s Community Planning and Development (CPD) Field Office in Portland, and staff from Community Action Partnerships of Oregon (CAPO) assigned to the Rural Oregon Continuum of Care (ROCC).

After a brief recap of information shared at the first meeting and a few questions, everyone was asked to break into small groups to talk about the components of an “ideal CoC” and report back. Everyone seemed positively engaged in the exercise. Facilitator Jan Calvin promised to share a compilation of all the ideas by email.
