Our Mission
We lead Texas communities to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring.
What We Do
Texas Homeless Network (THN) is a non-profit membership-based organization helping communities strategically plan to prevent and end homelessness. THN works to end homelessness in Texas by collaborating with all communities, large and small, across the state to build systems to achieve this goal. We coordinate local and national advocacy efforts, data collection and research, host an annual statewide conference, and serve as the host agency for the Texas Balance of State Continuum of Care (CoC) where we assist in the coordination of programs and funding.

Our Reputation
I have been exceptionally proud to be part of the Texas Homeless Network Board for the past three years. THN does an exceptional job maximizing resources to help communities end homelessness across the state. During the pandemic THN helped bring millions in new HUD grants to connect people experience homelessness with housing and supportive services. Their ability to scale and provide these services is truly inspiring, particularly in rural communities without an active network of providers. In a time when homelessness is a growing issue and in a state that is increasingly hostile to the people we serve one bright spot are the dedicated and compassionate folks at THN. The give hope, support, and inspiration to the Texans dedicated to ending homelessness and I appreciate all they do!
Texas Homeless Network works tirelessly to not only build up communities across the state in order to make homelessness rare, brief and non-reoccurring. They also buildup VISTAs, volunteers, staff, associates and more to carry on that mission into the communities in and outside of Texas as well. Without their leadership, progress made in our system would not be where it is today.
I am honored to be a former employee of Texas Homeless Network. The organization leads work to prevent and end homelessness primarily through supporting leaders throughout Texas in making homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring. The staff contains incredible knowledge regarding the systems that contribute to homelessness and the utilization of resources to help people experiencing homelessness. The organization understands that relationships are key to this work, and I believe that shows in everything that they do.
I spent time as an Americorps VISTA with Texas Homeless Network in 2018 and saw first hand the important work they do! From then until now, the important work they do to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring in the state of Texas is a gargantuan project, and I can think of no group of people I'd rather be tackling this issue. The staff are incredibly knowledgable, friendly, and driven by their purpose. They lead by example within the state and beyond as a model on how to best help our community members experiencing homelessness.
Texas Homeless Network is an amazing nonprofit that I feel so enthusiastic to support. Their work to end homelessness in our state is incredibly important and I see their impact in my community. I am a proud donor and ongoing supporter because I believe their advocacy helps to empower and protect our unhoused neighbors, and because I know their programs support agencies all over Texas. I can't recommend them enough!
