Task Groups
Iowa Balance of State Continuum of Care Task Groups are where ideas turn into action!
Some of our task groups meet regularly while others pop up when there’s work to be done, but all Task Groups focus on digging into specific issues, coordinating the details, and bringing recommendations back to the CoC Board.
If you like collaboration, problem-solving, and being involved with housing solutions then a task group is the place for you!
The Membership Task Group selects, trains, onboards, and supports the Board of Directors that represents community members and partners from across the Balance of State.
The Executive Task Group, with support from the Collaborative Applicant, is responsible for assuring the mission, vision, and values of the Continuum of Care is implemented and policies and standards support preventing and ending homelessness in the CoC.
The Grant Competition Task Group leads an annual local competition for HUD CoC funding and develops the project monitoring process, including technical assistance, all focused on strengthening the homeless service system to prevent and end homelessness.
The Coordinated Service Regions Task Group leads the implementation of Coordinated Entry and required training to ensure consistency of services across the Coordinated Entry regions for the BoS to end and prevent homelessness.
The CoC Impact Task Group is focused on the implementation of best practices and ensuring quality delivery of services across all the CoC work. This includes:
Develop and implement best practices to help our CoC address gaps in services.
Develop and implement a training plan regarding best practices for high-quality service delivery for CoC-funded projects in the IA BoS CoC.
The Data/HMIS and Strategic Planning
task groups merged with CoC Board
approval in November. This group is
currently reviewing responsibilities and
goals for the group moving forward.
