Proposed GVPCCC Restructure
A proposal to restructure the GVPCCC was presented at the GVPCCC General Meeting by the Task Force on Homelessness on Tuesday, July 19th. Proposed changes in the GVPCCC structure was motivated by the passage of the HEARTH Act. The current structure of the GVPCCC does not easily lend itself to the new requirements of the HEARTH Act and a change in structure will be voted on by the GVPCCC at the Oct 18th GVPCCC general meeting. Attached are outlines of the current structure and proposed restructure.
