A Gold Star Membership in the Tarrant and Parker County Continuum of Care is a designation unique to Agencies, Municipalities, and School Districts providing Homeless Services in our community.  Membership in the Continuum of Care certifies that an organization complies with the following goals:

• Promote a community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness;
• Provide funding for efforts to quickly re-house individuals and families who are homeless, which minimizes the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness;
• Promote access to and effective use of mainstream programs;
• Optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.

The Homeless Coalition is designated to carry out the activities of the CoC, including fiscal and compliance activities. As such, they administer and manage CoC Membership in accordance with the guidelines established and approved by the Governance Committee of the TX-601 Fort Worth/Arlington/Tarrant County CoC.

The Homeless Coalition also serves as the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Administrator for the CoC.  HMIS allows our community to record, track, and report results of individual agency accomplishments, as well as measure how the entire community is performing.  Access to HMIS is available only to active members of the CoC.

To apply for CoC Membership: Submit your Agency Information using the Form below.
