CoC Networking Forum

CoC Networking Forums provide an opportunity to connect with and support providers to create networking and collaboration to ensure support is provided to those in need and is a collaborative effort of the Iowa CoC’s (Iowa Balance of State Continuum of Care, Homeward, Metro Area Continuum of Care, & Siouxland Coalition to End Homelessness). We collaborate with other training opportunities and align that with our schedule. For more information please contact Courtney Guntly, CoC Director.

These meetings will NOT be recorded and we encourage people to attend the virtual meeting to learn about the topics and ask questions.
