About TCHC
The Tarrant County Homeless Coalition is dedicated to providing
leadership in the prevention and eradication of homelessness in
Tarrant County.
A not-for-profit, 501 c(3) organization formed in 1989, TCHC is
led by a volunteer Board of Directors comprised mainly of homeless
service providers. The core of our organization is a
coalition of over 100 members including service providers,
churches, local government, and individuals.
TCHC is recognized by the US Department of Housing and Urban
Development as the lead decision making and planning body that
coordinates Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Programs
including prevention, housing, and supportive services funding for
homeless families and individuals in Tarrant and Parker
Counties.
This coordination is called the Continuum of Care
(CoC). The CoC planning process creates a strategic system of
care to provide homeless people with housing and services
appropriate to their needs.
- Provide professional development for case managers/social
workers
- Set standards for best practices among homeless service
providers
- Expand services and opportunities to the homeless
- Implement performance measurement systems to evaluate existing
programs
- Increase housing stability in permanent and transitional
housing
- Maintain and provide official counts, data, and information on
the homeless
