RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the recommended changes to the Council on Homelessness bylaws.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact for this action.

BACKGROUND:

As an Advisory Board of the Board of Supervisors and to the Continuum of Care, the Council on Homelessness (COH) assists and provides guidance in the development and implementation of long-range planning and policy formulation of homeless issues in Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On November 28, 2022, the Family and Human Services Committee (FHS) received a presentation from the COH, accepted changes to the COH Bylaws, and directed staff to forward the revised Bylaws to the Board of Supervisors for their approval. These revisions will convert one of the Council's Public Safety seats to a second Lived Experience Advisor seat. This will increase the representation of people with a lived experience of homelessness on the Council.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Bylaws will not be updated as approved by FHS, and the COH will not be able to increase opportunities for people with a lived experience of homelessness to sit on the COH.
