The CoC Board of Directors is a group of key stakeholders (city officials, service providers, people with lived experience, and community partners) that provides oversight and accountability for all Chicago CoC responsibilities. The CoC Board meets every other month to discuss important issues that impact those experiencing homelessness and help to both vote on and strategize on solutions as quickly as possible.
