The HOC will also:

- Appoint all members of the Shelter Grievance Advisory Committee (SGAC) and receive an annual written report from SGAC.
- Appoint all members of the Shelter Monitoring Committee (SMC) and receive regular reports from the SMC.
- Receive advice and recommendations from the Our City, Our Home Oversight (OCOH) Committee on the administration of Prop C (2018) funding.
