Nominating & Membership Committee Application
At their June 13, 2024 meeting, the CoC Board appointed Lance Crawford and Tom Kirchgasser to the Nominating and Membership Committee and asked that they meet with Board members to review applications to develop a slate of candidates to present to the Board. That group will meet July 25, 2024 to review all applications received and interested members are encouraged to submit an application prior to that date for consideration.

Stay up to date with the work of the CoC
The CoC has an interim landing page that will act as a centralized point for all information about the CoC. Documentation of the work of the CoC is the responsibility of the Lead Agency and therefore the landing page currently resides under the umbrella of the City of Asheville's website; as the board begins its work, they may reshape the CoC's web presence.
On this page, you'll find an overview of the CoC, meeting materials, a historical timeline, and more helpful information for both the membership and the public. All updates from the Board and CoC membership will be listed on this page as the CoC transition from the City of Asheville's Homelessness Initiative Advisory Committee (HIAC) to the new structure continues.

Invite your networks to join the CoC
Do you know someone - either an individual and an organization - who has an interest in ending homelessness in our community? Invite them to become a member of the CoC! This body will only be as effective as those who are part of the membership, so we want and need all voices at the table.
Please email homelessstrategy@ashevillenc.gov if you need a paper copy of any of the above materials.

Promote Equity to Advance Change
The CoC will promote diversity, equity, and inclusion of BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and disabled populations by creating an environment that allows all who have been disenfranchised to participate and contribute fully. Additionally, equity will be reflected in all decisions, especially those involving funding, access, and delivery of services.
