Mission Statement
The mission of Changing Homelessness is to guide the community effort to
prevent and end homelessness by providing leadership, advocacy, support,
standards, and funding.

Year Founded
Our organization was formed in 1974 by a group of concerned and engaged social service
agencies and religious leaders, Incorporated in 2001.

Organization Services
As the area Lead Agency on Homelessness, we foster communication and provide training to 40
member agencies that offer direct services to people in need. Always in search for new grants and funding
opportunities for our Mission, we are also in charge of providing data collection coordination for these
services through the Homeless Information Management System (HMIS), ensuring useful data with the
highest integrity possible. We analyze this data to trend changes occurring in the populations our member
agencies serve. We are proud that our community has seen an 80% reduction in Veteran homelessness,
50% in chronic homelessness and a 30% decrease in overall homelessness since 2009. The agency
manages approximately $6 million dollars in local, state and federal grants of which over $4 million is pass
through to other agencies. Our single largest grant is the Supportive Services for Veteran Families. This
grant provides both rapid rehousing and prevention assistance.
