The Homeless Leadership Board (HLB) is comprised of 25 members, a Chief Executive Officer and 10 additional staff. The Board includes 9 elected officials and 16 community leaders (six service experts, one faith based organizations representatives, two business representatives, a representative of the Juvenile Welfare Board, one healthcare representative, three at-large representatives, and two homeless or formally homeless representative). The Board does much of its work through two major councils and their committees, which provide comprehensive information and recommendations for action and approval to the Board. The Providers Council and the Funders Council each has sitting representatives from the HLB. The HLB relies on existing human services, business networks, and committees as much as possible to work together to identify concerns and make recommendations on homeless issues.
