Continuum of Care Membership Application
Membership in the Guilford Continuum of Care (CoC) ensures community-wide commitment to preventing and ending homelessness and is open to organizations and individuals representing the entire geographic area covered by the Guilford CoC. Members must be willing to assist and improve the lives of people who are experiencing homelessness as well as prevent and end the condition of homelessness.
Recognition as a voting member of the CoC allows participation in the overall strategy and direction for ending homelessness in Guilford. Members are listed on the CoC website, have opportunities for funding, receive biweekly newsletters, and have access to training opportunities. There are no dues or membership fees associated with Continuum of Care membership.
In order to become a member with voting privileges of the CoC, a person must attend three consecutive CoC meetings, complete a Guilford County Continuum of Care Voting Member Application Form, attend a CoC 101 session, and acknowledge the Conflict-of-Interest Disclosure Policy. Each application will be reviewed and approved by the Nominating/Membership Committee and following CoC-approved application standards. Once the application form has been approved and the attendance requirements met, the Nominating/Membership Committee will notify the person/agency of their membership status
Members of the Continuum of Care will retain their membership and voting status as long as they are in good standing. To remain in good standing, Voting Members must attend 75% of the regularly scheduled meetings within an operating year (July-June). For agencies and organizations, attendance at meetings is tracked based on the designees of the agency/organization.
NOTE: Voting membership also requires execution of Annual Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement
Thank you for your interest in the Guilford County Continuum of Care. Non-voting members are identified as Public Attendees. You are welcome to attend our monthly CoC Membership Meetings, which are held virtually on the second Thursday at 9:30am unless otherwise noted. Information can be found on the CoC Home page under upcoming Events; any additional information can be requested at infoCoC@guilfordcountync.gov.
Each member may name up to two (2) voting representatives. Only one (1) representative of an agency/organization may cast a vote on each action. In the event that neither representative can attend a duly called meeting, he or she may, with prior notice to the Chair, designate a proxy. Designations of proxies to conduct business should be rare. If a Continuum of Care voting member is unable to routinely conduct business, the agency/organization should seek to assign representation to another individual.
