The Homeless Coalition of Jasper and Newton Counties

The Homeless Coalition of Jasper and Newton Counties Our mission is to improve the quality of life of individuals in Jasper and Newton Counties (Missouri) who experience any aspects of homelessness.

The Homeless Coalition meets the second Monday of each month, to coordinate services and share information that helps individuals experiencing homelessness. We welcome anyone in the community to join our meetings, if you have information to share or are a provider of services. Coalition members participate in local and statewide meetings, including the Governor's Committee to End Homelessness and

Missouri Housing Development Commission. We maintain a data system that collects information and reports trends on those in our community who are homeless. The Coalition also serves as a liaision with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, writing our community's collaborative application for HUD funding each year, and ensuring that "best practices" are used in homeless services, and that service goals are met by providers.

Thank you to these hard-working organizations. Proceeds from our weekly raffle and last month's Golf Scramble made this possible.
