Heading Home Governance Board 

The Heading Home Governance Board is the community-directed entity responsible for oversight of homelessness planning, coordinating, and funding activities in the St Louis County Continuum of Care (CoC). The board meets monthly to vote on key issues that impact federal, state, county, and local stakeholders. There are also committees that meet to work on detailed proposals: Housing Response Committee; Advocacy and Planning Committees (North and South); Evaluation and Planning Committee; Youth Committee; Ad Hoc Veteran Committee; and others. This website contains relevant information and documentation for these committees – including agendas and minutes – and will be updated as needed.
 

PIT/HIC

Each year Continuums of Care (CoCs) conduct two counts that provide all stakeholders with the size and scope of homelessness in our community, and the available resources to address it.  The Point In Time (PIT) Count is an annual census of all individuals and families experiencing homelessness, whether unsheltered, or in emergency shelter, transitional housing, or domestic violence shelter.  According to HUD guidelines, the PIT count must take place during the final 10 days of January.  The Housing Inventory Count (HIC) compiles the total number of units and beds in our community available for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.  This website contains relevant information and documentation of these community-wide data collection efforts, and will be updated as new data is finalized and reported.

NOFA

Each year, HUD administers a grant program called the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Competition, also known as the Notice of Funding Availability, or “NOFA.”  This roughly $3 million grant supports infrastructure and services for people experiencing homelessness within the St. Louis County CoC planning region. St. Louis County has been designated by the Heading Home Governance Board as the Collaborative Applicant, which is responsible for coordinating the NOFA in our community.  This website contains relevant information and documentation for the NOFA, and will be updated as needed, especially during the competition phase, from July through the fall.
