People with disabilities have the right to request reasonable accommodations to participate in the Coordinated Entry System.
When a discrimination complaint is received, the CoC Board will complete an investigation of the complaint within 60 days by attempting to contact and interview a reasonable number of persons who are likely to have relevant knowledge, and by attempting to collect any documents that are likely to be relevant to the investigation. Within 30 days after completing the investigation, the CoC Board will write an adequate report of the investigation’s findings, including the investigator’s opinion about whether inappropriate discrimination occurred and the action(s) recommended by the investigator to prevent discrimination from occurring in the future. If appropriate, the investigator may recommend that the complainant be re-assessed or re-prioritized for housing or services. The report will be kept on file for two years.

Emergency Transfer Plan and Emergency Transfer Request Form.
The Housing First Solano Continuum of Care (CoC)/CAP Solano JPA Participant Grievance Policy applies to all participants in housing and homeless service programs funded by the CAP Solano JPA and/or the Housing First Solano Continuum of Care (HFS CoC). This policy provides participants with the right to grieve any situation where they are denied housing or services by a program. This covers denials of housing or services because of rule violations, non-compliance with program requirements, or not meeting program eligibility.
The goal of this policy is to provide program participants and service providers with a fair and equitable process. If you are a participant in a JPA/CoC-funded housing or homelessness program in Solano County and have been issued a denial of housing/services from a JPA/CoC-funded agency, you may submit an Appeal Request Form or complete the form below. You may also complete the following form to request an investigation if you have a complaint that is not being or has not been addressed through the Participant Grievance Policy.
This form should be completed by the participant but may be written by someone on the participant’s behalf. The form and personal information will be kept confidential. A confirmation of receipt and a date for review of the complaint should be received within 5 business days, not including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.
