The Office of Care Coordination, on behalf of the Orange County Continuum of Care (CoC), is facilitating the annual CoC Board Nomination and Election process.
The Orange County CoC Board is charged with responsibilities and authorities on behalf of the General Members of the Orange County CoC. The Orange County CoC is comprised of a governing board that represents the stakeholder groups that align with the community’s priorities and experiences of key partners, including people with lived experience, in the community.
The Orange County CoC is committed to fostering a Board that reflects our community and broadens the CoC Board membership to be representative of the experiences more wholly within Orange County.
CoC General Membership
The CoC Governance Charter states that a CoC Board member must be CoC General Member, either as an agency or individual. There is still time to become a CoC General Member if you are interested in applying for the CoC Board!
If you are interested in becoming a CoC General Member or would like to update your membership information, please visit the CoC General Membership webpage for details relating to the CoC General Membership process and application form. If you are unsure of your CoC General Membership status, including your agency’s authorized representatives, please reference the current CoC General Membership Roster.
New and updated CoC General Membership forms for the CoC Election are due to the Office of Care Coordination by November 7, 2025. If you have any questions, please email CareCoordination@ceo.oc.gov.
