The Ellis County Homeless Coalition
The Ellis County Homeless Coalition is a community action group of concerned citizens and organizations dedicated to raising awareness, preventing homelessness and developing affordable housing in Ellis County. We meet quarterly on a Tuesday evening. See our home page for the dates.
We are a part of the Texas Homeless Network (thn.org.) THN is a nonprofit membership-based organization helping communities strategically plan to prevent and end homelessness. THN works to end homelessness in Texas by collaborating with all communities, large and small, across the state to build systems to achieve this goal.
Purpose Statement
The purpose of the Ellis County Homeless Coalition is to lead the efforts to identify homeless issues, to assist those experiencing homelessness with resources, and to support the development of community strategies to make homelessness rare, brief and non-recurring and to raise awareness of the need for affordable housing in Ellis County.
