Executive Director Job at Clark County Homeless Coalition
ABOUT THE CLARK COUNTY HOMELESS COALITION
After opening our first crisis homeless shelter in 2011, the CCHC now serves the homeless population of sixteen counties in and around Clark County. We are among several organizations in Kentucky that serve those experiencing homelessness, offering support that ranges from meeting basic needs through street outreach to connecting people with temporary shelter and permanent housing solutions. Through our programs, we work to provide a supportive atmosphere where accountability and compassion go hand in hand. Our residents are encouraged to gain additional skills, required to save money, and map out a plan for their future. We partner with many other agencies and organizations to provide a broad base of services to effectively meet the needs of our clients. Wainscott Hall and the Bridge Program are much more than shelter but are a place of hope for our entire community. After receiving our first federal grant in 2016, our funding has increased dramatically over the past several years, granting us the opportunity to profoundly change the outcomes for the homeless population in our community. It is our mission to empower those experiencing homelessness to take ownership of their path home. It is our vision that we may be able to end homelessness, creating a better quality of life and community for future generations.
