Homeless Care Council of Northwest Alabama

The Homeless Care Council of Northwest Alabama (HCCNWA) is a nonprofit coalition working to increase the community’s capacity to address homelessness. Its members include shelters, agencies, businesses, municipalities, institutions of higher learning, private citizens, and other interested partners across Northwest Alabama.

HCCNWA serves as the HUD-designated Continuum of Care for Colbert, Franklin, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Marion, and Winston counties. Its mission centers on advocacy, education, and coordination of services, with planning and resource development supporting local efforts to address homelessness. The organization also supports the region’s Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), which helps collect and manage information about housing and services for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
