There’s a Place for You at the Table
Ending homelessness takes all of us. The Lancaster County Homelessness Coalition brings together people and organizations from across our community to share expertise, build connections, and create pathways to safe, stable housing.
You don't have to be a traditional homelessness service provider to make a difference. If your organization serves Lancaster County, there is a place for your voice, your expertise, and your partnerships.
Homelessness Service Providers
You're on the front lines. Outreach teams, shelters, housing providers, case managers, prevention programs, and other service organizations bring firsthand knowledge of what people experiencing homelessness need to move toward stability.
Housing Partners
Help expand the pathways to a home. Affordable housing developers, landlords, property managers, and housing organizations can help connect people with available housing and create more opportunities for long-term stability.
Healthcare & Behavioral Health
Housing and health are deeply connected. Healthcare, dental, mental health, and substance use partners can help identify barriers, connect people with care, and support the stability that comes from having a safe place to call home.
Education & Employment
Schools, colleges, workforce organizations, and employers can help identify housing instability early while connecting individuals and families to education, employment, and other opportunities that strengthen long-term stability.
Community & Faith-Based Organizations
Trusted community relationships matter. Churches, faith communities, nonprofits, neighborhood groups, and community organizations bring people, resources, and practical support together—from food and transportation to mentoring, financial education, and volunteer support.
Funders & Philanthropic Partners
Your investment can help turn community ideas into action. Public and private funders, donors, and philanthropic partners help expand services, create housing opportunities, test new approaches, and respond to emerging needs.
Emergency & Safety Partners
Emergency responders, law enforcement, and other safety partners bring an important perspective to the community response. Together, we can identify alternatives that protect people while reducing unnecessary interactions with emergency systems.
Community Hubs & Local Networks
Local networks know their communities. Community hubs can connect residents with food, healthcare, employment, education, emergency assistance, housing, and other resources while helping ensure solutions reflect local needs.
What Will You Bring to the Table?
You don't need to have all the answers. You just need to bring what you can.
By joining the Lancaster County Homelessness Coalition, your organization can connect with partners across the county, share knowledge and resources, identify gaps, strengthen local solutions, and help shape a more coordinated response to homelessness.
The Coalition is actively seeking members who reflect the full range of our community, including organizations working in behavioral health, substance use recovery, physical health, employment and workforce development, youth-serving, and LGBTQIA+ organizations, along with organizations serving historically marginalized communities and housing and community development professionals. Individuals with lived experience are also encouraged to participate.
