Purpose

The GRCoC Ranking Committee will coordinate and review the Continuum of Care application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as well as other coordinated funding programs targeted to the Continuum of Care as a whole (such as the Virginia Homeless Solutions Program.) Read more here.

Composition

The Ranking Committee will be made up of GRCoC members who are not applying for coordinated funding. The committee chair will propose members, and the GRCoC board must approve them by a simple majority vote, which may occur by email. The chair may also invite subject matter experts to support the committee’s work. Additionally, individuals with lived experience of homelessness may be approved by the Ranking Committee Chair and the GRCoC Board Chair. The inclusion of lived experience experts is encouraged, as their perspectives are vital to informing equitable and effective funding decisions.
