The Foundation of Our Work
This is an exciting time for Partnership Home as we enter a new chapter in our story of service to the community. Since 1989, Partnership Home (formerly The Homeless Coalition) has been leading the community solution to homelessness by serving as a catalyst for community transformation. As we build on our foundation of service to partner organizations, we look to the future to meet the current and emerging needs of our changing community.
Our vision remains the same: a vibrant community where everyone has a place to call home.” We will move our community toward this vision through three primary efforts:
- Strong partnerships: we do our work to help others succeed in theirs
- Thought leadership: we provide trusted guidance and expertise in the fields of affordable housing and homeless response
- Innovative solutions: we bring new ideas and financial resources to meet emerging needs
HISTORY
Partnership Home got our start when homelessness was just emerging as a problem in Fort Worth in the 1980s. Formally established in 1989 as Tarrant County Homeless Coalition, our organization began as a volunteer-run organization providing oversight and planning for homeless services in Tarrant County.
In 2008, the organization hired our first paid employee, and since then the number of staff and capacity of the organization has expanded significantly, with a budget of $4M and a staff of 30.
