Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless

What Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless does

Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless (MCCH) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1990 and headquartered at 2301 Research Blvd, Suite 200, Rockville, Maryland, with a staff of 101–250. Its mission is to make homelessness rare, brief, and nonrecurring in Montgomery County, Maryland, and it delivers a portfolio of homelessness services including emergency shelter (HBCAC Men's Emergency Shelter serving 700+ men annually and Nebel Street capacity for 200 men), permanent supportive housing (Cordell Place with 32 individuals and Seneca Heights Apartments with 17 families/40 individuals), rapid rehousing and veterans-specific programs, case management, life-skills training, job assistance, and harm-reduction services. Through its affiliate Coalition Homes, MCCH also develops and manages affordable and permanent supportive housing stock. The organization operates a Housing First, trauma-informed care model and reports a 98% housing stability rate for families served, approximately 1,600 men, women, and children served annually, and a Functional Zero achievement for veteran homelessness in December 2015 recognized by HUD and USICH.

MCCH is funded through three primary revenue streams: individual donations processed via Classy.org, corporate and foundation grants, and federal, state, and local government contracts — most prominently Montgomery County Government (over $2 million in shelter services) and HUD including VA/HUD-VASH vouchers. Supporting programs include Mini Hubs (four sites providing free toiletries and supplies), the Urgent Needs Task Force (a Facebook-based rapid donation group), the 30X30 Move In Kit Challenge, and Action & Awareness Events for corporate volunteer groups. The annual HOME Conference convenes 250+ local, state, and federal stakeholders, and the MCCH Gala serves as the flagship annual fundraiser. Technology infrastructure is limited to standard nonprofit tooling — no proprietary software, no AI/ML capabilities, and no app products are evidenced. The go-to-market motion is community-led, relying on volunteers, donors, advocacy, and partnerships with government and other nonprofits rather than commercial sales channels.
