El Paso Coalition for the Homeless

on is to collaborate with these organizations and individuals to create a system that more efficiently and effectively provides services, support, and housing to all El Paso’s homeless. At the forefront of this objective is a focus on moving those who are experiencing homelessness into permanent housing. The Coalition serves as the backbone organization for the El Paso CoC and supports agencies that serve those experiencing homelessness through research, project management, training, and technical assistance. The Coalition also designs and implements pilot programs and other innovative projects in alignment with its guiding principles. The ultimate goal of the Coalition is a system that strives to assist these populations and providers and, therefore, achieves reduction in new instances of and returns to homelessness, while mitigating the length of those who still may experience it. The Coalition places an emphasis through multiple initiatives and research on meeting the various needs of the sub-populations, as well, including, but not limited to unaccompanied youth, veterans, chronically homeless and families with children.
