Los Angeles Regional Homelessness Advisory Council

The Los Angeles Regional Homelessness Advisory Council (RHAC) is co‐convened by LAHSA and Home for Good as called for by the City and County of Los Angeles’ plans to address homelessness (Strategies 5E and E17, respectively). The purpose of the Regional Homelessness Advisory Council is to provide an enduring forum for broad‐based, collaborative and strategic leadership on homelessness in Los Angeles County in alignment with Home For Good. The Advisory Council will facilitate wide understanding and acceptance of national and local best practices, and communicate goals, barriers and progress to community stakeholders. A partial listing of the objectives of the RHAC include:

1. Provide strategic leadership to all homeless system stakeholders, including consumers, providers of housing and services, public funders, private philanthropy, and public officials.

2. Support implementation of best practices and evidence‐based approaches to homeless programming and services.

3. Promote alignment of funding across all sectors (e.g. public mainstream, private non‐governmental, and homeless‐specific) and the leveraging of resources in the most effective manner.

4. Coordinate programmatic approaches across all homeless system providers and mainstream systems.

5. Support a regional strategic response to identify and resolve the primary factors contributing to housing instability and homelessness.

6. Identify and articulate artificial barriers across geographic and political spheres, in order to eliminate them.

7. Influence mainstream systems to ensure access and accountability to homeless consumers.

8. Track progress and evaluate results.

In addition, the RHAC is responsible for selecting the LA Continuum of Care (LA CoC) Board that will evaluate and make recommendations on LA CoC policies.

It is anticipated that the RHAC will meet on a quarterly basis; however, other RHAC‐related activities may be convened from time to time. Selected candidates should ensure they can commit to actively participate in the RHAC.

Los Angeles Regional Homeless Advisory Council

Summary of Draft Governance Charter

The Regional Homelessness Advisory Council’s first task will be to take action on forming an LA CoC

Board Nominating Committee that will create a governing framework for the RHAC. The draft charter

enclosed in your meeting packet spells out in careful detail the relationship between the RHAC and the

forthcoming LA CoC Board, as well as other stakeholder groups. The following summary outlines the

draft charter section-by-section:

ARTICLE 1: Continuum of Care Mission, Objectives and Responsibilities

SECTION 1: Mission

The Los Angeles Regional Homeless Advisory Council (RHAC)’s mission is to provide a framework for

broad-based, collaborative, and strategic leadership on homelessness planning and service coordination

throughout the greater Los Angeles Metro region. The RHAC acts as the Continuum of Care (CoC)

membership for purposes of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) CoC Program

interim rule requirements (24CFR Part 578.5(a)).

SECTION 2: Objectives

The RHAC has nine (9) objectives including the provision of strategic leadership to all homeless system

stakeholders, supporting the implementation and coordination of best practices to homeless

programming and services as well as mainstream system providers, and promoting the alignment of

funding across key sectors. Additional RHAC objectives are to track progress and evaluate results,

identify and promote the elimination of artificial barriers across geographical and political spheres, and

influence mainstream systems to ensure access and accountability to homeless consumers.

SECTION 3: RHAC Responsibilities

The RHAC’s work is guided by the City of Los Angeles Comprehensive Homelessness Strategy, Los

Angeles County’s Homeless Initiative and the Hearth Act. It will provide a forum for broad-based,

collaborative, and strategic leadership on homelessness in LA County, facilitate a wide understanding

and acceptance of national best practices, and communicate progress to stakeholders. Finally, the RHAC

will promote the coordination of a housing and service system that meets the needs of homeless

individuals and families at imminent risk of or currently experiencing homelessness.

SECTION 4: Assignment of Responsibilities to LAHSA Commission

The RHAC, a member-based council, is separate from LAHSA, and recognizes the assignment of a set of

responsibilities to the LAHSA Commission as identified in Exhibit B of the charter.

SECTION 5: Assignment of Responsibilities to LAHSA

2

The RHAC recognizes the role of LAHSA and LAHSA staff as well as the assignment of a set of

responsibilities to LAHSA as identified in Exhibit B of the charter. The RHAC may deem necessary

additional responsibilities for LAHSA to perform.

SECTION 6: Assignment of Responsibilities to CoC Board

In order to comply with HUD CoC requirements, LAHSA, with the advice and counsel of the RHAC, shall

manage a nomination process to select members of a CoC board, establish the board’s conflict of

interest policies, and specify assigned duties for CoC board members.

ARTICLE 2: Regional Homelessness Advisory Council Membership

SECTION 1: Membership Structure

RHAC members will be either elected or appointed, and will represent public, private, faith, education,

and philanthropic sectors. RHAC membership will consist of 56 seats. Twenty-four (24) seats have been

designated for the public sector, twelve (12) for providers, five (5) for the education sector, three (3) for

the business community, two (2) for formerly homeless community members, two (2) for advocate

organizations, two (2) for the health systems sector, two (2) for the philanthropy sector, and one (1) for

the LAHSA Commission. The represented sectors and total membership seats may be adjusted with a

super majority (two-thirds) vote among RHAC members. Exhibit A outlines the membership structure.

SECTION 2: Membership Responsibilities

The RHAC’s members are expected to attend all regular meetings and demonstrate an interest in

addressing the issues related to homelessness in alignment with the City and County’s coordinated

efforts.

SECTION 3: RHAC Meetings

RHAC meetings will occur quarterly and will be open to the public.

Article 3: Code of Conduct

SECTION 1: RHAC Member Representation Balance

The RHAC membership will ensure stakeholder balance by allowing no more than one member of a

board or staff from a particular non-government organization or affiliate organization to serve on the

RHAC at any given time, plus no more than one volunteer or consumer of the same organization.

SECTION 2: Resignation and Removal

RHAC members may resign at any time, or may be removed by LAHSA for violating RHAC policies.

SECTION 3: Vacancies

Upon the resignation or removal of a RHAC member, LAHSA will determine a process for selecting a

replacement member from the same representative body.

3

Article 4: Administrative Support to the RHAC

SECTION 1: Role of Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority

LAHSA will provide administrative support to the RHAC.

Article 5: Continuum of Care Board

SECTION 1: Role of Continuum of Care Board

The Los Angeles CoC Board is a collective of individuals, representative of the relevant organizations and

of projects serving homeless populations and subpopulations with the Los Angeles CoC geographic area,

designated to provide oversight and governance on behalf of the Los Angeles CoC. The CoC Board shall

advise and counsel the RHAC, the LAHSA Commission, and LAHSA staff.

SECTION 2: Continuum of Care Board Membership Selection

LAHSA shall manage a nomination and selection process to identify CoC Board members and shall

identify code of conduct and conflict of interest policies for the CoC Board.

CHARTER

Los Angeles Regional Homeless Advisory Council DRAFT Governance Charter

ARTICLE 1: Continuum of Care Mission, Objectives and Responsibilities SECTION 1: Mission The Los Angeles Regional Homeless Advisory Council (RHAC) is a membership-based council whose mission is to provide a framework for broad-based, collaborative and strategic leadership on homelessness planning and service coordination throughout the greater Los Angeles metro region. Further, the RHAC acts as the Continuum of Care (CoC) membership for purposes of US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) CoC Program interim rule requirements (24 CFR Part 578.5(a)). SECTION 2: Objectives The RHAC carries out its mission through a set of objectives that guide its governance:

1. Provide strategic leadership to all homeless system stakeholders, including consumers, providers of housing and services, public funders, private philanthropy, and public officials.

2. Support implementation of best practices and evidence-based approaches to homeless programming and services.

3. Promote alignment of funding across all sectors (e.g. public mainstream, private non-governmental, and homeless-specific) and support prioritization of investments to leverage resources in the most effective way possible.

4. Promote coordination of programmatic approaches across all homeless system providers and mainstream systems.

5. Support a regional strategic response to identify and resolve the primary factors contributing to housing instability and literal homelessness.

6. Identify and articulate artificial barriers across geographic and political spheres, in order to promote their elimination.

7. Influence mainstream systems to ensure access and accountability to homeless consumers. 8. Track progress and evaluate results. 9. Function as the Continuum of Care (CoC) Membership for purposes of federal CoC designation

and administration requirements as established by HUD. SECTION 3: RHAC Responsibilities The RHAC is not a deliberative or decision-making body for purposes of designing, managing, funding, or evaluating the homeless crisis response system for Los Angeles CoC. Official duties and responsibilities assigned to the RHAC (i.e. CoC membership) by HUD’s CoC Program interim rule may be delegated by the RHAC to other public entities, task forces or administrative entities as determined by official action of a majority of voting RHAC members (See Exhibit B, Assignment of Continuum of Care Responsibilities, at the end of this Charter). The RHAC’s work is guided and assessed through the execution of core Responsibilities, derived from the City of Los Angeles Comprehensive Homelessness Strategy, Los Angeles County’s Homeless


CHARTER

Initiative and the Hearth Act amending and reauthorizing the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. These responsibilities include:

A. Provide an enduring forum for broad-based, collaborative and strategic leadership on homelessness in Los Angeles County in alignment with Home For Good.

B. Facilitate wide understanding and acceptance of national best practices and communicate goals, barriers and progress to community stakeholders.

C. Promote the coordination of a housing and service system with the Los Angeles Continuum of Care that meets the needs of homeless individuals and families and persons experiencing a housing crisis who are at imminent risk of literal homelessness.

Section 4: Assignment of Responsibilities to LAHSA Commission The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) of the City and County of Los Angeles, created in 1993 to address the problems of homelessness throughout Los Angeles County. The RHAC, as a member-based council, is a separate entity from LAHSA and acknowledges the authority and responsibilities vested in LAHSA and LAHSA’s governing board, the LAHSA Commission, as established by the JPA of 1993. Recognizing LAHSA Commission’s existing and historically precedent authority as established by the JPA, the RHAC affirms and recognizes the assignment of responsibilities to the LAHSA Commission as identified in Exhibit B.

Section 5: Assignment of Responsibilities to LAHSA Recognizing the role of LAHSA and LAHSA staff in administering planning and funding for homelessness assistance, the RHAC affirms and recognizes responsibilities assigned to LAHSA as identified in Exhibit B. In addition to the designated responsibilities identified in Exhibit B, LAHSA staff may perform additional coordination duties as determined necessary by the RHAC for the efficient and effective operation of homeless services throughout the County of Los Angeles. Section 6: Assignment of Responsibilities to CoC Board HUD CoC Program interim rule requires CoCs to establish a board to act on behalf of the CoC. LAHSA, with the advice and counsel of the RHAC shall manage a nomination process to select the CoC Board membership, establish conflict of interest policies and specify all assigned duties. At a minimum the assigned CoC Board duties shall include those identified in Exhibit B. ARTICLE 2: Regional Homelessness Advisory Council Membership Section 1: Membership Structure Membership of the RHAC is comprised of both elected and appointed members, selected from a diverse representation of public, private, faith, education, and philanthropic sectors. Members will each serve


CHARTER

two (2) year terms, renewable indefinitely provided the member meets all membership obligations and continues to represent in good standing the organization and sector from which the member was initially selected. RHAC membership consists of fifty-six (56) seats. The RHAC may increase or reduce this number and/or the representative bodies from which RHAC membership is derived based on a super majority (two-thirds) of voting RHAC members. RHAC members shall be either nominated or elected to the RHAC, depending on the specific representative body the member represents. Exhibit A represents a chart that identifies the representative bodies comprising the RHAC, the applicable sector for each representative, and membership selection process specific to each RHAC seat. Section 2: Membership Responsibilities All RHAC members must demonstrate an interest in understanding and addressing the issues related to homelessness, and a desire to participate in the City and County coordinated efforts to end homelessness. Members are expected to attend all regularly scheduled RHAC meetings, participate fully in all advocacy efforts, and commit to working together with RHAC members and Los Angeles City and County residents to advance the objectives of the RHAC. Section 3: RHAC Meetings RHAC will hold quarterly meetings throughout the calendar year. All RHAC meetings are open to the public. Although the RHAC is not a government or legislative body, official RHAC meetings will abide by California’s Brown Act which guarantees the public’s right to attend and participate in meetings of a legislative body.

ARTICLE 3: Code of Conduct During the course of RHAC meetings topics may be discussed related to specific governmental, public, private, and/or advocacy organizations, their funding and fiduciary relationships, and affiliated partnerships. When in the course of these discussions a RHAC member is personally involved or the organization the RHAC member represents is directly involved, the RHAC member shall disclose this relationship if not already publicly known. Section 1: RHAC Member Representation Balance To ensure a RHAC membership of balanced stakeholder groups, no more than one member of the board or staff of a particular non-governmental organization, plus no more than one volunteer or consumer affiliated with that non-governmental organization may serve on the RHAC at the same time. Organizations with separate affiliate organizations will be held to the same requirement and may not have more than one member of the board or staff of any affiliate within their structure, plus no more than one volunteer or consumer affiliated with any arm of that organization serve on the RHAC at the same time. Section 2: Resignation and Removal


CHARTER

Unless otherwise provided by written agreement, any RHAC member may resign at any time by giving written notice to LAHSA. In addition, LAHSA in a co-convening role with Home For Good may remove RHAC members for repeated absence, misconduct, failure to participate, or violation of conflict of interest policies. Section 3: Vacancies When a member resigns, is removed from the RHAC or cannot serve his/her full term for any reason, LAHSA in a co-convening role with Home For Good will determine a process for selecting a replacement member from the representative body associated with the vacancy. ARTICLE 4: Administrative Support to the RHAC Section 1: Role of Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), as a co-convener with Home For Good, will provide administrative support to the RHAC. This support will include but is not limited to staffing RHAC meetings and preparing meeting materials such as agendas, briefing reports, policy briefs, and presentation materials. LAHSA may assume other RHAC related duties as assigned by the RHAC. ARTICLE 5: Continuum of Care Board Section 1: Role of Continuum of Care Board The Los Angeles Continuum of Care Board is a collective of individuals, representative of the relevant organizations and of projects serving homeless populations and subpopulations with the Los Angeles CoC geographic area, designated to provide oversight and governance on behalf of the Los Angeles CoC. The CoC Board shall provide advice and counsel to the RHAC, LAHSA Commission and LAHSA staff on matters related to homeless system operations, funding priorities, performance of homeless assistance projects, and service delivery coordination. Section 2: Continuum of Care Board Membership Selection LAHSA shall manage a nomination and selection process to identify members of the CoC Board.
