What is Our Purpose?

TCHC provides information and services to the Fort Worth/Arlington/Tarrant County Continuum of Care. First and foremost, TCHC is an advocate for people who have been rendered homeless in Tarrant and Parker Counties. By gathering their input and providing an outlet for their perspective to be heard, TCHC members are essential to making homelessness a rare, non-recurring, and short term event.

In addition, TCHC:

• Monitors and reports on the extent and nature of homelessness in the community
• Is one of the leading partners  in the implementation of the City of Fort Worth and Arlington's 10-year plans to end chronic homelessness
• Creates opportunities for the homeless to participate in public discussion on the state of progress in our community
• Connects citizens to opportunities assisting the homeless
• Facilitates interagency collaboration, creativity, and innovative solutions toward the effective delivery of supportive services to the homeless
• Provides year-round training to 450 case managers, social workers, and staff who work directly with the homeless
• Provides ongoing information, research, analysis, and advocacy to support the efforts of homeless service providers and local government policy initiatives that directly impact the homeless
• Recognizes case managers through the Case Manager of the Year
