The Coalition for the Homeless's mission is to prevent and end homelessness in Louisville. We do this through advocacy, community education, and the coordination of our 30 member agencies. We have been the lead advocate for Louisville's homeless since 1984, when we were founded after several people died on Louisville's streets. Our programs succeed in addressing the root causes of homelessness and in making services to the homeless more cost-effective, efficient, and humane. Our member agencies provide housing, food, clothing, health care, counseling, and legal services to the homeless--from veterans living on the streets to families living out of their cars. Our job is to evaluate the needs of the homeless and of our agencies, to identify and address gaps in services community-wide, and to implement smart, long-term solutions.
