   (a)   Seat 1 shall be held by a homeless or formerly homeless person.

   (b)   Seats 2 through 11 shall be held by people who represent relevant organizations or projects serving one or more homeless subpopulations in San Francisco, as the terms “relevant organizations” and “homeless subpopulations” are used in 42 C.F.R.

At the time of appointment, the Commission shall identify the relevant organization or homeless subpopulation(s) represented by the appointee.

   (d)   Members of the Coordinating Board may not serve on any other City body that advises on issues relating to homelessness, including but not limited to the Commission, Shelter Monitoring Committee, and Shelter Grievance Advisory Committee, during their term(s) on the Coordinating Board.
