As the Coalition says goodbye, it is also preparing to welcome new members for the 2015-2016 Fiscal Year:
- Bernadette Cardenas (Homeless and Foster Care Liaison, Houston Independent School District)

The Proof is in the Numbers...
The next goal within our community is to end chronic homelessness by the end of this year. Between January 2012 and April 2015, our community has housed 2,479 chronically homeless individuals - well above our target rate! We are also making steady progress toward our goal of adding 2,500 new units of Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) to our community's inventory.
