CFTHHouston

The Coalition for the Homeless of Houston/Harris County (CFTH) is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to lead in the development and implementation of community strategies to prevent and end homelessness. In 1982 at the request of then Harris County Judge Jon Lindsey and Houston Mayor Kathryn Whitmire, CFTH was founded by area homeless social services for an exploding number of people who were homeless that were emerging as a result of local economic deterioration. In 1988, CFTH incorporated as a 501(c) 3.
