The Core Committee advises the Board of Directors on annual CoC and EHH application requirements, HUD and local priorities for funding, operation and performance of the local coordinated entry system and issues related to managing the local homeless management information system (HMIS). They are responsible for remaining informed of HUD priorities and requirements; preparing annual applications in cooperation with the Lead Applicant for CoC and EHH funds, and implementing strategies that are outlined in submitted funding applications. The Core Committee is tasked with reviewing the HSC Written Standards regularly and upon request, drafting updates as needed, and soliciting feedback from the Membership. They regularly examine system performance measures and other identified data points, and provide data presentations to identified groups in accordance with their data sharing plan. Agencies that receive CoC and/or EHH funds must have a representative participate in the Core Committee. If there is a vacancy in the Chair position and no committee members volunteer to serve, the CoC Coordinator or their designee will chair the Core Committee.
