Organizations Filed Purposes:
THE MISSION OF THE COALITION FOR THE HOMELESS IS TO ADVOCATE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS AND FOR THE PREVENTION AND ELIMINATION OF HOMELESSNESS. THE COALITION FOR THE HOMELESS HAS BEEN THE VOICE OF HOMELESSNESS IN LOUISVILLE FOR MORE THAN A QUARTER OF A CENTURY. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH HOMELESS SERVICE PROVIDERS, CIVIC GROUPS, CONCERNED CITIZENS, FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS TO DO THREE THINGS: 1)EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY ABOUT HOMELESSNESS AND INSPIRE ACTION, 2)ADVOCATE FOR SYSTEM CHANGES, AND )COORDINATE THE COMMUNITY RESPONSE TO HOMELESSNESS THROUGH EFFICIENT USE OF RESOURCES AND FUNDING.
THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THE COALITION IS THE EVALUATION OF HOMELESSNESS IN THE COMMUNITY, THE EDUCATION OF CITIZENS ABOUT HOMELESSNESS, AND THE COORDINATION OF ITS MEMBER AGENCIES AND DOZENS OF OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS. THE COALITION COORDINATED LOUISVILLE'S CONTINUUM OF CARE APPLICATION, RESULTING IN OVER 9.5 MILLION FOR HOMELESS SERVICES. IT FORMED AND LED THE HOMELESS YOUTH COMMITTEE, MADE UP OF MORE THAN 70 DIFFERENT PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS, TO RALLY AROUND THE COMMON GOAL OF ENDING YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULT HOMELESSNESS. WE RECEIVED AND ALLOCATED 3.45 MILLION TOWARD ADDRESSING THIS CAUSE THROUGH THE HUD HOMELESS YOUTH DEMO GRANT. SINCE 2017, THE COALITION AND ITS PARTNERS HAVE REDUCED YOUTH HOMELESSNESS IN LOUISVILLE BY 67%.
THE COALITION NEGOTIATED WITH THE TRANSIT AUTHORITY OF RIVER CITY (TARC) TO PURCHASE BUS TICKETS AND PASSES FOR AGENCY MEMBERS OF THE COALITION AND OTHERS. TARC TICKETS AND PASSES, WHICH ARE PROVIDED FOR HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS ONLY, ARE THEN SOLD TO PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS. THE COALITION PURCHASED APPROXIMATELY 6,000 TICKETS AND 400 PASSES PER MONTH.
THE WHITE FLAG PROGRAM PROVIDES EMERGENCY SHELTER FOR PERSONS WHO WOULD OTHERWISE BE TURNED AWAY DURING SEVERE WEATHER (ABOVE 95 DEGREES OR BELOW 35 DEGREES). THREE SHELTERS PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM AND SUBMIT THEIR HOUSING NUMBERS BEYOND THEIR NORMAL CAPACITY TO THE COALITION FOR REIMBURSEMENT. THE PROGRAM PAYS FOR APPROXIMATELY 10,000 BED STAYS PER YEAR AT A RATE OF 5 PER BED STAY.
