The Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless is an independent community based not-for-profit organization that provides public education, advocacy, program support, capacity building and technical assistance to the homeless service community. The Coalition's ultimate goal is to end homelessness.

PCCH partners with local, state, and federal agencies in support of the homeless. These agencies have been instrumental in assisting PCCH in its mission to battle homelessness since the 1990s and continues to join with other agencies for grants and supportive reforms such as the establishment of the state office on homelessness.
