About Board Membership

Membership in the St. Louis City CoC is open to any individual or organization—nonprofit, for profit, or governmental—that is committed to ending homelessness or assisting people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Applications for membership are to be submitted to the Chairperson of the Membership committee, and are subject to approval by a majority vote of the Board of Directors. Each member must serve on at least one of the seven CoC committees to be considered an active member.

General meetings are held at least six times per year. The Board of Directors meets at least six times per year as well with meetings alternating months with the General meetings. The Board is made up of the Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, the seven Committee Chairs, and six At-Large Members.
