Continuum of Care Membership Application

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.

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 a calendar year. Attendance at meetings is tracked on an individual basis, not at the agency/organization level. Voting Members must attend 75% of the regularly scheduled Membership Meetings within a calendar year.

Membership Applications are accepted throughout the year. Applications will be reviewed and evaluated by the Membership Committee, voted on by the Board of Directors, and voted on by the Continuum of Care Membership. Once approved, new members will participate in New Member Orientation, which is held virtually on the fourth Friday of each month. 

NOTE:  Voting membership also requires execution of Annual Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement

Voting Representatives

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.
