THN CoC Service Enrichment Coordinator VISTA

Texas Homeless Network (THN) is a non-profit membership-based organization assisting 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 two statewide conferences a year, 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. THN serves as the state lead for VISTA projects related to homelessness throughout Texas. We partner with service providers, local homeless coalitions, and other community organizations that intersect with the issues surrounding homelessness. Some of our current and previous projects include: Continuum of Care planning, coordination of Coordinated Entry, resource and program development, Employment Navigation program development and training, coalition building, community engagement, and volunteer program development.

Member Duties : The VISTA member will fight poverty by strengthening service delivery within housing-focused programs and increasing the capacity of service providers. The VISTA member will accomplish this by facilitating the revision and improvement of the Texas Balance of State Continuum of Care (TX BoS CoC) Written Standards for Service Delivery. This effort will focus on fostering long-term housing sustainability and closing gaps in service delivery for people experiencing homelessness, with the ultimate aim of lifting them out of poverty. The Written Standards play a crucial role in the fight against poverty. They are designed for use by homeless service providers receiving federal funding within the 215-county area comprising the TX BoS CoC. These standards provide a detailed listing of projects that make up the TX BoS CoC's Housing Crisis Response System and outline the stringent criteria to which all projects of a particular type must adhere.
