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.
