Recommendation for Update Governance Charter

A combined Governing Board and Continuum of Care Meeting of the FL-520 – Citrus, Hernando, Lake, Sumter Counties CoC was held on Friday, July 26, 2019. As a part of the annual review of the Governance Charter, it was recommended that a change be made to the following section by replacing the “up to thirteen (13) members” with “at least thirteen (13) members”.

  1. THE GOVERNING BOARD
  2. BOARD MEMBERSHIP AND ELECTION
  3. 2. There will be up to thirteen (13) members of public & private sectors vested in homelessness issues throughout the four (4) county area. The Governing Board will include the following:
  4. a) At least one (1) currently or formerly homeless person (in accordance to the current definition of homeless by HUD), and
  5. b) At least one (1) ESG-funded agency representative;

This change will allow the Governing Board to expand to meet the needs of the CoC.

A vote on this on this change to the Charter will take place at the meeting of August 23, 2019. It is a Governing Board and CoC Meeting, and it is open to the public.
