Collier County Hunger and Homeless Coalition

The Hunger & Homeless Coalition provides for the emergency relief of Hunger by delivering food boxes and prepared meals to the Homeless camps and to those extremely low income residents in dire need. The Coalition performs two emergency housing relief programs; Homeless prevention, the payment of past due rent/utilities to keep at-risk households from becoming Homeless and rapid rehousing, the rehousing of those experiencing literal homelessness. Additionally, the Coalition can provide temporary Homeless relief via emergency motel stays. Connectivity to other needed resources, performed through the Coalition's coordinated entry system of care, provides for such basic needs as; clothing, food stamps application assistance, wic application assistance, employment assistance, and many more resources.

Program planning and coordination: coordinate services through the leadership of the continum of care (coc) to help with duplication of services and to identify gaps in services in the community. Maintain the Homeless management information system (hmis)database for reporting and for the better coordination of services.
