Fresno County supervisors on Nov. 4 approved a letter of interest for the county to serve as the management entity for the Fresno-Madera Continuum of Care. The county says the management entity would be authorized by the Fresno-Madera Continuum of Care to implement and carry out day-to-day operations of the coordinated entry system.

According to county staff, the designation would support regional efforts to address homelessness through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Continuum of Care program. The board approved the letter of interest during the meeting; the transcript does not record a roll-call vote or the names of a mover and seconder.

The action recorded in the meeting minutes is limited to approval of the letter of interest. Any formal transfer of responsibilities, funding agreements or contractual obligations would require subsequent steps and, where applicable, oversight by the Continuum of Care and HUD.
