This coalition serves as an alliance of independent partners—including local organizations, churches, public safety, and business leaders—coordinating our efforts to address homelessness in our community.
Welcome to the Putnam County Homelessness Solutions Coalition site.
Our Mission:
The mission of the Putnam County Homelessness Solutions Coalition is to provide a sustainable, data-driven framework for ending homelessness in our community through strategic coordination, legislative advocacy, and the establishment of permanent shelter solutions. We serve as an independent bridge between local service providers, state leadership, and the public to ensure transparency and accountability in resource management. By correcting data gaps and championing protective legislation like the Gloria Johnson Act, we empower our coalition partners to move individuals from crisis to stability, ensuring that homelessness in Putnam County is rare, brief, and non-recurring.
Our Vision:
Our vision is a Putnam County where homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring; where a permanent, state-compliant shelter system serves as the foundation for community stability, and where data-driven transparency ensures that no neighbor is left behind or uncounted.
Our Values:
- Absolute Transparency: We believe data integrity is the foundation of public trust. We are committed to real-time, honest reporting of community needs and ensuring the highest standards of fiscal accountability for all local and state resources.
- Strategic Collaboration: Success is built on the strength of our partnerships. We serve as the independent hub where nonprofits, public officials, and community leaders work in a unified, non-competitive environment to achieve regional stability.
- Evidence-Based Advocacy: Our legislative efforts, including the Gloria Johnson Act, are driven by hard data and legal necessity. We prioritize solutions that are state-compliant, fiscally responsible, and proven to reduce the long-term tax burden on our community.
- Relentless Focus: We are dedicated to the establishment of permanent, sustainable shelter solutions. We provide the necessary oversight to prevent mission creep and ensure that shifting priorities never distract from our primary goal of securing a safe place for every neighbor.
We are moving Putnam County toward a permanent, real solution through transparency, coordination, and a data-driven strategy. Discover our goals on the About Us page.
