What does the Homeless Coalition do?
The Coalition is responsible for moving the community developed plans (10-year plan; taskforce report) forward. To do this we bring together various entities, agencies, service organizations and individuals to improve current services and expand/add services in accordance with the community developed plans to meet the needs of our homeless neighbors. We are also the federally designated the lead agency for the Tampa-Hillsborough homeless system of care (continuum of care). The Coalition is responsible for bringing approximately $8 million in federal and state funding to Hillsborough County for homeless programs and services. With the addition of staff in the past year, we are now able to actively seek other grants and funding opportunities to assist in funding needed services.
