The Westside Shelter & Hunger Coalition is a group of over thirty social service providers, faith congregations, and supporting organizations committed to ending homelessness through service coordination, public education, and advocacy. The Coalition members work together to provide a continuum of care for homeless, low-income individuals and their families by serving their needs in a cost effective and cooperative manner. They have built an infrastructure that serves the needs of the many sub-groups of the homeless population including veterans, battered women, youth, families and individuals with mental illness, drug or alcohol addiction, and/or HIV/AIDS.
