Our Mission

To end homelessness in our community. We do this through our services and programs; in collaboration with others; and with education and advocacy.

Our Vision

That everyone has a safe, decent, and stable place to live in our community.

Founded in 2008, the Concord Coalition to End Homelessness (CCEH) is a private nonprofit dedicated to eliminating homelessness in our community. We do this work through our services and programs; by collaborating with other agencies; and with education and advocacy. We believe that every person has value and deserves a home regardless of their circumstances, that ending homelessness is possible, and that maintaining a safety net benefits the entire community.

CCEH operates a Resource Center Monday through Friday where clients can meet their basic needs (e.g. showers, laundry, mail) and engage in case management services focused on securing and maintaining permanent housing. Many clients also live with mental health issues, substance use disorders, and/or other disabilities which make securing and maintaining housing difficult. To help address the complex needs of our clients, the Resource Center also serves as a hub for other agencies to engage with clients and provide services such as physical and behavioral health care.

In addition to meeting the immediate needs and re-housing individuals experiencing homelessness, CCEH operates a permanent supportive housing program for long term or chronically homeless individuals. CCEH provides intensive, on-going, one-on-one case worker support to help clients make the transition out of long-term homelessness and to remain stably housed.

CCEH is the lead agency for the implementation of Concord’s Plan to End Homelessness and convenes the City’s Steering Committee of the same name. This steering committee includes business, faith, government, and other local community leaders, and offers strategic guidance, researches evidence-based practices, identifies gaps in services, and works to secure resources to fill those gaps. CCEH also convenes the Homeless Service Provider Network, comprised of 50+ agencies providing services to people experiencing homelessness on a monthly basis for information sharing and collaboration.
