Continuum of Care Board
The CoC Board serves as the primary decision-making body for TPCH. The CoC Board acts on behalf of the TPCH General Council in setting policy and governing oversight for our coalition. Board Members are expected to participate in monthly CoC Board Meetings and to contribute time and effort to CoC activities throughout the year. Each Board Member is expected to represent the CoC Board in at least one CoC Committee, Subcommittee, or Coalition.
Seven CoC Board seats are currently open for election. Based on current Board composition, we especially encourage people of color, LGBTQ+ people, persons with lived experience of homelessness, and persons with expertise in disability services, criminal justice, legal services, affordable housing, and healthcare to apply, as well as representatives from local philanthropic, business, property management, and faith communities.
Board members are expected to abide by the CoC Board Member Job Description, TPCH Code of Conduct, and TPCH Conflict of Interest Policy
Continuum of Care Committees
TPCH committees conduct research and provide expertise to advance the mission of the Tucson/Pima County Continuum of Care and support the CoC Board. Committee Members are expected to participate in regular committee meetings and to contribute time and effort to CoC activities throughout the year. Committee members are elected by the TPCH General Council and appointed by the CoC Board.
People of color, LGBTQ+ people, and persons with lived experience of homelessness are encouraged to apply.
Committee members are expected to abide by the TPCH Code of Conduct and TPCH Conflict of Interest Policy.
Operation Deep Freeze (ODF) is Tucson's winter severe-weather emergency shelter for people experiencing homelessness. ODF goes into effect when weather predictions are for overnight temperatures of 40°F or lower with rain, 35°F or lower without rain, or when wind chill factors indicate a health hazard from exposure. You do not need an ID or a TB card to participate in ODF.
