Our Goals

  • End homelessness in Tucson and Pima County, Arizona.
  • Provide leadership, expertise and advice to local planning and funding bodies on issues that impact services to people experiencing homelessness.
  • Increase community awareness and support for people experiencing homelessness, homeless issues, and homeless issues
  • Develop systems-level programming and coordinate agencies for implementation, and 
  • Act as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) for the geographic area of the City of Tucson and Pima County, Arizona.

Our Work

TPCH’s Board of Directors and committees work year-round to:

  • identify service and resource gaps and significant trends in homeless populations through evaluation
  • develop priorities, based on these trends and gaps, for improving the service network
  • identify and apply for funding opportunities aligned with TPCH priorities
  • strategically plan to end homelessness in Pima County

Our Structure

TPCH is comprised of an elected board and committees that focus on various parts of the homeless response system.  TPCH convenes and coordinates community partners to create a forum for community consensus on needs and homeless service delivery, but does not provide direct services. If you are in need of housing services, please call 311.
