Kings/Tulare Homeless Alliance (KTHA) is the designated HUD Continuum of Care for Kings and Tulare Counties, California.

Product overview

Kings/Tulare Homeless Alliance is a nonprofit organization operating as a Continuum of Care (CoC) for Kings and Tulare Counties in California. The organization does not offer a single unified product but rather coordinates multiple interconnected programs addressing homelessness: the core Continuum of Care Program provides strategic oversight and federal funding coordination; Every Door Open (Coordinated Entry System) serves as the unified intake and assessment gateway using VI-SPDAT prioritization; the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) enables providers to coordinate care and track client data; the Landlord Mitigation Fund and Landlord Engagement Program expand housing opportunities through landlord partnerships; the Local Initiatives Navigation Center (L.I.N.C.) provides mobile outreach services; and Point In Time Counts collect annual homeless population data. Additional offerings include 2-1-1 resources, donation programs, and public document repositories.

Direct peers

• Orange County Continuum of Care: Designated CoC for Orange County, California. Comparable in structure (HUD CoC, Coordinated Entry, HMIS, PIT counts, annual NOFO competitions) at a larger suburban California scale.
• Sacramento Steps Forward: HUD-designated Continuum of Care for Sacramento County operating HMIS, Coordinated Entry, and Point-in-Time counts. Most directly comparable peer in California — similar CoC structure, programs, and funding mix, though serving a larger urban county.
• Fresno-Madera Continuum of Care: Designated CoC for neighboring Fresno and Madera Counties in California's San Joaquin Valley. Highly comparable given shared regional context, agricultural economics, CoC structure, and similar HUD/HHAP funding exposure to KTHA.
• Kern County Homeless Collaborative: Continuum of Care for Kern County, also in the San Joaquin Valley. Comparable in operating model (CoC designation, HMIS, Coordinated Entry, PIT counts) and rural-adjacent California context.
• Riverside County Continuum of Care: HUD Continuum of Care for Riverside County, California. Comparable as a CoC administering federal funding, HMIS, and Coordinated Entry in an Inland Empire California context.

Others

• National Alliance to End Homelessness: National policy and advocacy nonprofit for the CoC system and HUD funding. Not a direct operator but the federal policy/research counterpart relevant to KTHA's funding environment, regulatory positioning, and best-practice alignment.
• San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing: Municipal CoC for San Francisco operating Coordinated Entry, HMIS, and shelter/residential programs. Comparable as a HUD CoC administering federal and local homelessness funding, but city-government structured rather than nonprofit.

Broad incumbents

• Santa Clara County Office of Supportive Housing: County-government-affiliated CoC body for Santa Clara County. Comparable in CoC designation, HMIS administration, and Coordinated Entry, but operates at substantially larger urban scale with greater budget.
• Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA): The largest HUD Continuum of Care in California, coordinating homeless services across LA County. Comparable as a designated CoC administering HUD CoC funding and operating a Coordinated Entry System, though at far greater scale and urban scope.
• Alameda County Office of Homelessness: County-coordinated CoC body for Alameda County. Comparable in CoC designation and HUD-funded homeless services delivery, though larger urban Bay Area scale and county-government structured.
