There is no fiscal impact.
The Contra Costa Council on Homelessness provides a forum for communication and coordination of the County's Strategic Plan to End Homelessness, educate the community on homeless issues, and advocate on federal, state and local policy issues affecting people who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness.
The Council on Homelessness is appointed by the Board of Supervisors and consists of 18 seats representing homeless or formerly homeless persons, educational/vocational services, health care, housing providers law enforcement, local government, the faith community, homeless service providers, and philanthropy. All Council members reside in or are employed in Contra Costa County, demonstrate a professional interest in or personal commitment to addressing and alleviating the impact of homelessness, and be able to contribute unique expertise, opinions and viewpoints on homeless issues. Candidates will serve two-year terms.
The Council on Homelessness continues to make every effort to fill its vacant seats. These efforts include sending a targeted email solicitation via the Continuum of Care mailing list (300+ contacts that include each Supervisors office), announcing vacancies at public Council on Homelessness meetings and posting information about the vacancies and application materials on the Council on Homelessness website.
The seat will remain vacant.
