Welcome to TCHC
Working to prevent and end homelessness in Tarrant County one
person at a time
The Tarrant County Homeless Coalition is dedicated to providing
leadership in preventing homelessness. In the past two years we
have experienced an 18.5% decrease in the number of homeless living
on the street and residing in our emergency and transitional
housing programs. Our progress must continue.
TCHC plays a vital role as the lead agency for the Continuum of
Care for the homeless in our community. Together, we:
- Provide strategic planning, coordination, and interagency
collaboration to improve services for the homeless
- Provide expert knowledge on the condition, extent, and status
of homelessness in Tarrant County
- Partner in the facilitation in the development of new permanent
supportive housing
- Provide extensive training and support for nearly 100 homeless
service provider agencies and 450 human services case managers,
social workers, and staff
And most importantly, together, with our extensive talents,
resources, insights, and expertise - we end
homelessness!
