About the West Texas Homeless Network

Our Mission
The West Texas Homeless Network is a local group of organizations and advocates taking action to realign systems and resources to end, rather than manage, homelessness in Abilene, Texas.

Using data-driven methods, we are changing how our homeless response system works and proving homelessness doesn't have to be an inevitable but heartbreaking reality.

A Local Homeless Coalition
WTHN is neither a non-profit nor a for-profit agency. We are a Local Homeless Coalition responsible to the Texas Homeless Network (THN), a non-profit membership-based organization helping communities prevent and end homelessness through collaboration and strategic planning.
 
THN leads local and national advocacy, data collection and research, and hosts an annual conference. It also serves as the host agency for the Texas Balance of State Continuum of Care (CoC), coordinating programs and funding to support homelessness solutions across Texas.
