Who We Are

The Collin County Homeless Coalition (CCHC), was originally founded in 2004 as a community organization in response to homelessness in Collin County.

 

In 2017, the Collin County Homeless Coalition became a 501(C)3 whose members consist of city governments, Collin College and the ISDs, non-profits and service providers, faith organizations, businesses and corporations, health care agencies, protective services, and community working together to provide solutions to homelessness in Collin County through:

​

  1. Increasing Awareness of Homelessness
