New rules for Chatham-Savannah homeless board

The Chatham-Savannah Authority for the Homeless has a 13-member board. Savannah City Council and Chatham County Commission each appoint two members; nine are selected through the law's selection process. All members must live in Chatham County, and at least one must have current or past experience with homelessness. Members serve three-year terms, with no more than two terms in a row, and receive no pay. A majority of the full board can remove a member for failing to perform required duties. The chair must also serve on the Interagency Council on Homelessness for Chatham-Savannah.
