The Tucson Pima Collaboration to End Homelessness (TPCH) is a coalition of community and faith-based organizations, government entities, businesses, and individuals committed to the mission of ending homelessness and addressing the issues related to homelessness in our community. The Board and committees form the core of our governance model, where community members, people with lived experience, and agency staff come together to lead our strategic efforts to prevent and end homelessness.

Committee members oversee and monitor the shared work of TPCH and its members, providing guidance and expertise to the CoC Board. Committee members are elected and appointed annually in May.
