  • Community service clubs

Members are accepted at any time. To become a member agency, please review the Terms of Reference. If you agree, please fill out a membership form and send the completed form to the Coalition coordinator at: comoxvalleyhousing@gmail.com.

If the Coordinator has any questions about the appropriateness of the proposed member it will be brought to the Leadership team, who will make a recommendation for the Coalition to decide upon by consensus. Organizations will be asked to appoint one representative. Member organizations may send an alternate to a meeting in the absence of the appointed representative.
