Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County Charity Profile
The Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County was formed in 1986 as a voice for the homeless in our county. We work with the community to advocate for the rights of the homeless and to raise funds and awareness for the homeless. The Homeless Coalition serves as a catalyst for community collaboration to prevent and end homelessness. Our members include homeless advocates, the business community, government, service providers, faith-based communities, people who are currently experiencing or who have experienced homelessness, academics and many other community stakeholders.
Established in 1986 in conjunction with a state task force on homelessness convened by then-Governor Bob Graham, the Coalition is a non-profit organization incorporated in 1989 as The Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County, Inc. During this process, a Board of Directors was formed, By-laws written, and the Coalition hired its first staff.
