The Big Picture: Homeless & Housing Coalition
Thursday, Jan. 26, 2021, 1-4 pm, virtual event
Carrie Poser, the director of the Wisconsin Balance of State, will be presenting to the Coulee CoC.  This meeting will be held virtually, and the link to access the meeting is above.  No registration is needed. 
 
Carrie will be doing a deep dive into the housing and homelessness data from the Coulee CoC and what this data means for our area.  We will be discussing how to apply this data to improve systems, address needs for those experiencing homeless, and develop next steps. Carrie is an expert in the state on homelessness and housing systems and data-driven decision making, as well as the competitive process in which the Balance of State (and by extension, the Coulee CoC) receives funding from Housing and Urban Development.  
If you have any questions, please contact Meredith McCoy at meredith.mccoy@wibos.org.
