Summary Explanation and Background:
The Brevard Homeless Coalition (BHC) was established in July 2014 with a mission to make homelessness a rare, brief, and non-recurring experience in Brevard County. We are a 501(C)3 non-profit, membership-based organization designated as the Lead Agency for Brevard’s Continuum of Care (CoC), our homeless system of care. The BHC manages federal and state housing and services funding, coordinates local and national advocacy and planning efforts, and administers the Homeless Management Information System, our local information technology system which tracks and measures our success as a CoC. We collaborate with communities and agencies throughout the County to help provide critical interventions to Brevard’s homeless individuals and families and those vulnerable to homelessness. Together, we are creating a Housed and Healthy Brevard TM.
