The Equity Committee will be a body of representatives from special population groups, including a homeless individual with present or past lived experience, a veteran, a representative for the LGBTQ+ community. The Equity Committee will also include a representative for the threshold ethnic Hispanic community and racial representation for Native Americans and a representative for People of Color Other than White. Racial representatives will be chosen to represent a specific racial population when it reaches 5% of Lake County’s total population of the most current Lake County PIT Count. Until that time one representative will be chosen to represent People of Color Other than White from the current 2020 PIT Count. The Equity Advisory Committee will select the six Executive Committee representatives and they will be confirmed by votes from the General Membership. Each Representative will have a vote on the Executive Committee.

 

This is to ensure equity implementation, with a voice on the decision-making body of the LCCoC. The Equity Advisory Committee shall:

​

1.) Review all policies and procedures of the LCCoC to ensure proper language and considerations are included. This body will review each Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) that is released, to make sure there is no bias, actual, or perceived.

​

2.) The committee will review HMIS data annually for equity in service.

​

3.) The Equity Advisory Committee will advise the Administrative Agency on how best to provide cultural proficient trainings to the General Membership.

​

4.) Outreach to their specific population group for opportunities and engagement for the LCCoC
