Kansas Balance of state regions
The Kansas Balance of State CoC covers 101 counties and is organized into 9 regions. Each region brings together a network of partners involved in the homeless response system—including service providers, healthcare professionals, McKinney-Vento liaisons, city and county officials, HUD-funded and non-funded agencies, and community advocates.
Every region is supported by a Regional Coordinator who helps lead monthly meetings, supports planning efforts, and provides guidance on the Coordinated Entry System (CES) and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).
The more voices at the table, the stronger our network becomes in the effort to prevent and end homelessness. If you’re interested in joining a regional meeting, learning more about CES or HMIS, or exploring how to get involved, please reach out to your Regional Coordinator.
