Blueprint Council: The Governing Board of the Continuum of Care
The Blueprint Council, the Governing Board of the Continuum of Care (CoC), is the body that makes recommendations to the full CoC and acts as the day-to-day decision-making group. It is the designated entity for managing the CoC Program process in Indianapolis, including ranking of proposals for submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The Blueprint Council designs, coordinates, and reviews the HUD CoC grant application process for the Continuum, which includes defining community priorities and ranking CoC Program applications for approval through the CoC Program Grantee.
The Blueprint Council will operate with no fewer than 13 and no more than 26 members. All members are elected, unless noted as an appointed member. The Blueprint Council typically meets every other month. While Blueprint Council membership is limited to those elected or appointed by the community, all Blueprint Council meetings are open to the public.
