SHELTER PARTNERSHIP CO-FACILITATED THE WORK OF THE LOS ANGELES CONTINUUM OF CARE BOARD, A GOVERNANCE BODY REQUIRED UNDER THE FEDERAL HEARTH ACT TO OVERSEE THE FUNDING, OPERATIONS, AND EVALUATION OF THE COC PROGRAM LOCALLY. THIS WORK INCLUDED EDUCATING BOARD MEMBERS ON TRENDS AND NEEDS IN REGIONAL HOMELESSNESS AND HOW THE HOMELESS SERVICES SYSTEM IS PERFORMING.
