What Coalición de Coaliciones Pro Personas sin Hogar de Puerto Rico, Inc. does

Coalición de Coaliciones Pro Personas sin Hogar de Puerto Rico, Inc. is a Puerto Rico-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2003 that serves as the designated lead agency for the Continuum of Care PR-503, administering HUD-mandated homeless services across the island. The organization serves individuals and families experiencing homelessness, survivors of domestic violence, individuals with substance use disorders (particularly opioid addiction), people living with HIV/AIDS, and youth and young adults (ages 18-29) facing housing instability. It operates physical service locations in Caguas and Ponce and coordinates a referral network spanning all 78 municipalities of Puerto Rico.

The organization's product portfolio comprises six interconnected programs: the Sistema Coordinado de Entrada (CES), the access point connecting clients with housing services via standardized vulnerability assessment and prioritization; Conexión Boricua, an HMIS (Homeless Management Information System) data platform administered under HUD guidelines that compiles an integrated database describing the homeless population; the Clínica Alternativa Integrada, an integrated health clinic offering medical, psychological, nursing, and buprenorphine treatment services under one roof; Vivienda Primero (Housing First), an evidence-based housing placement model operating without treatment preconditions; the WCRP (Programa de Planificación Integral para la Resiliencia Comunitaria), a community resilience planning program covering 54 municipalities; and CDC De Regreso a Casa, supporting community reintegration.

The organization's revenue model is grant-dependent. Approximately $20 million annually flows from federal sources, primarily HUD, with additional funding from FEMA, SAMHSA, and HRSA. Secondary revenue is generated through medical insurance billing—Medicaid (Plan Mi Salud) and the Ryan White program—at the Clínica Alternativa Integrada, supplemented by public donations via PayPal. All direct services to beneficiaries are provided free of charge. The organization operates without shareholders and is led by founder Francisco J. Rodríguez Fraticelli, who experienced homelessness himself during the 1990s.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Catholic Charities USA: National network of social service agencies providing housing, shelter, domestic violence services, and disaster response. Comparable to CDC's broad service model covering housing, DV survivors, and community resilience planning, but operating at much larger scale.
• Volunteers of America: Large national nonprofit providing housing, behavioral health, and recovery services across hundreds of US locations. Overlaps with CDC's Housing First and SUD treatment programs as part of a much broader service portfolio.

Direct peers

• Homebase: Bay Area nonprofit providing homelessness prevention, shelter diversion, rapid rehousing, and system coordination through CES-style intake. Operates a similar mix of direct service delivery and coordinated-entry administration as CDC.
• Corporation for Supportive Housing: National nonprofit that finances and advances supportive housing combining affordable housing with health and behavioral health services. Closely aligned with CDC's Housing First philosophy and integrated Clínica model.
• Community Solutions: National nonprofit running the Built for Zero initiative to end homelessness through data-driven, coordinated community responses. Mirrors CDC's HMIS/CES-driven, system-level approach to reducing homelessness counts.
• Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program: Provides integrated medical, mental health, and SUD care to homeless individuals in Boston, combining outpatient clinics with housing services. Highly comparable to CDC's Clínica Alternativa Integrada + CES combination.
• Mercy Housing: National nonprofit operating affordable and supportive housing across the US with on-site services for vulnerable populations. Comparable to CDC's Vivienda Primero and integrated resident services approach.
• PATH (People Assisting the Homeless): California-based nonprofit providing interim housing, permanent supportive housing, and rapid rehousing with integrated case management and behavioral health. Directly comparable service portfolio to CDC's housing and clinic offerings.
• National Alliance to End Homelessness: Leading national policy and advocacy organization on homelessness, working closely with HUD and Continuums of Care. Comparable to CDC in serving as a system-level coordinator and policy thought leader, though operating at national rather than territorial scale.
• Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority: Lead agency for the Los Angeles Continuum of Care, administering HUD homeless funds and coordinating services across a large jurisdiction. Directly comparable to CDC's role as PR-503 lead agency, with a similar CES, HMIS, and housing placement mandate at much larger scale.
