Homeless Emergency Response Committee (HERC)

The Homeless Emergency Response Committee assists and oversees the management of “emergency” events as they arise. Activation is determined by guidelines and protocols established by the Homeless Emergency Response Committee and approved by the Wake CoC Membership. The Homeless Emergency Response Committee provides a unified command structure and communications strategy for large-scale events or events where multiple people/agencies are impacted. The overall objective is to establish a scalable standard response structure approved through the Wake CoC Membership.

The Homeless Emergency Response Committee shall submit an Annual Work Plan to the Wake CoC Governing Board no later than December 31st of each year.
