NEW NAME FOR GROUP OVERSEEING FEDERAL FUNDS
After a bumpy 2015 in which its role, membership and effectiveness were
called to account, the Volusia/Flagler Continuum of Care Committee has
adopted a new name and added new members focused on increasing its role
in resolving issues of homelessness in 2016.
In a press release (below) issued at the end of February, the group announced it had
switched its name to Volusia/Flagler Commission on Homelessness. It
will continue to receive staffing and Collaborative Applicant support from the
Volusia/Flagler County Coalition for the Homeless and that entity’s new
executive director Jeff White. The Commission is required by Federal Law to
exist to prioritize and authorize expenditure of Federal funds of all kinds
designated for homeless services in the two county area. At the same
meeting approving the name change, Sam Willett was elected chair by the
24-member all volunteer group, which welcomed several new members
described in its release.
Meetings of the Commission are open to the public. A schedule of its
meetings and the press release can be found using these links.
