What Brevard Homeless Coalition, Inc. does

Brevard Homeless Coalition, Inc. (BHC) is a 501(c)(3) membership-based nonprofit founded in July 2015 and headquartered in Melbourne/Rockledge, Florida, with six employees. It serves as the federally designated Lead Agency for Brevard County's Continuum of Care (CoC) — HUD's FL-513 Palm Bay/Melbourne/Brevard County service area — and is the exclusive collaborative applicant for federal CoC funding in the region. The Coalition's mission is to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring through system-wide coordination across Brevard County.

The Coalition's core product set centers on homelessness-system coordination rather than direct service delivery. It administers the local Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), operates a public Data Dashboard, publishes the annual Point-in-Time Count (PITC) and Housing Inventory Count (HIC), and runs a Coordinated Entry System that assesses and refers homeless households to appropriate housing and services. It manages federal HUD CoC Program grants and state housing funding, distributing these to member nonprofits and agencies through a competitive RFP process, and convenes quarterly membership meetings, training events, and a Homeless Memorial. Under its 2023-2026 Housed & Healthy Brevard Strategic Plan, CoC membership grew 270% and reported homelessness fell 19% for households and 21% for individuals.

Revenue is generated through grant management (HUD CoC Program funds and state housing allocations), supplemented by donations processed via Square to support cold-night shelter operations. Pricing is not commercially applicable — services are funded as pass-through grants to member organizations rather than sold as products. The Coalition's primary customer segments are homeless individuals and families (downstream beneficiaries), member organizations and agencies (upstream recipients of funding), and HUD and state agencies (the funding principals).
