COLLIER COUNTY HUNGER AND HOMELESS COALITION INC

What COLLIER COUNTY HUNGER AND HOMELESS COALITION INC does

Collier County Hunger and Homeless Coalition Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Naples, Florida, that serves as the federally designated Lead Agency and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Lead for the Collier County Continuum of Care. Founded in 1989 and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in 2001-2002, the coalition coordinates a network of partner agencies including social service nonprofits, faith-based organizations, hospitals, universities, law enforcement, public housing agencies, and formerly homeless individuals to plan, deliver, and coordinate services for people experiencing hunger, homelessness, or housing instability in Collier County. It operates as the Collaborative Applicant for HUD Continuum of Care grants and is financed in part by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Florida Department of Children and Families.

The coalition's core products and services are programmatic rather than technology-based. They include the Coordinated Entry System (a centralized screening and intake process for homeless services), the Community Resource Network / HMIS (a data tracking system managing client information across partner agencies), the annual Point in Time Count (a census capturing homelessness on a single night, conducted January 30-31, 2025 in 2025), Getting Ahead educational workshops, and the ONE COLLIER 10-year strategic plan launched in 2020 organized around seven sub-committees. The organization employs 1-10 staff and is governed by a Board of Directors led by Chairman Daniel R Mahoney, with Michael Overway serving as Executive Director. The technology stack is administrative: an HMIS database, a WordPress website, Network for Good donation processing, and calendar subscription tools, with no public API, no mobile app, and no AI/ML capabilities.

The revenue model is non-commercial. The coalition does not charge for its coordination services. Revenue derives from three streams: government grants (HUD CoC and Florida DCF funding), private donations (suggested tiers of $25, $50, $100, $500, or custom amounts via Network for Good), and corporate sponsorships. The geographic footprint is restricted to Collier County, Florida, with no global operations. Distribution occurs through a Direct Sales-style coordinated entry field operation rather than traditional product channels, and go-to-market is community-led, relying on coalition membership to reduce service duplication and improve referral processes across the partner ecosystem.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• National Alliance to End Homelessness: National policy and advocacy organization focused on preventing and ending homelessness. Operates at the federal/national level but engages with the same HUD CoC framework and HMIS data systems as local coalitions like the subject organization.
• Feeding America: National hunger-relief network that addresses the food-insecurity side of the coalition's mission. Comparable in nonprofit, donation-funded model addressing hunger among low-income populations.
• National Low Income Housing Coalition: National advocacy organization addressing affordable housing and homelessness at the federal policy level. Operates in the same housing-and-homelessness policy space as local coalitions, though primarily in advocacy rather than direct service coordination.

Direct peers

• Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida: Coalition-style nonprofit coordinating homeless services in Central Florida through a Continuum of Care framework and HMIS Lead role. Comparable in mission, structure, and reliance on HUD CoC funding.
• Tampa Hillsborough Homelessness Initiative: Coalition that serves as Lead Agency and collaborative applicant for the Hillsborough County Continuum of Care in Florida, coordinating housing and homelessness services — directly parallel to the subject organization's role in Collier County.
• Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust: Established Continuum of Care Lead Agency for Miami-Dade County, Florida, coordinating homeless services, housing, and HMIS data across a large county jurisdiction.

• Lee County Human Services (Homeless Coalition): Adjacent Florida county (Lee) coordinating homeless services and Continuum of Care activities. Comparable in function and geography, but administered as part of county government rather than a standalone nonprofit coalition.

Others

• United Way of Collier County: Local United Way affiliate that hosts CoC meetings and serves as a key collaborative partner in Collier County. Comparable in community-fundraising and convening role, and an adjacent ecosystem participant rather than a direct competitor.
• Catholic Charities Diocese of Venice: Regional Catholic Charities affiliate providing direct social services (food, housing, emergency assistance) in Southwest Florida. Operates in the same service geography and serves overlapping client populations as the subject coalition.
