Membership
Ending homelessness takes all of us — working together, sharing knowledge, and lifting our collective voice. By joining the Big Bend CoC, you become part of a regional network committed to creating lasting, community-driven solutions.
Organizations that provide shelter, outreach, housing, or support services play a vital role in shaping CoC strategy, sharing data, and collaborating on system-wide solutions.
Local business leaders bring fresh perspectives, community insight, and valuable partnerships that strengthen our region’s housing and support network.
Housing providers are essential to our success — offering units, opening doors to housing opportunities, and helping us move people from crisis to stability.
Residents who care about ending homelessness can lend their voice, time, and ideas to ensure that community responses are fair, effective, and truly inclusive.
