Close to Home

Close to Home is the lead Continuum of Care (CoC) agency for San Antonio and Bexar County. The organization works to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring by bringing together nonprofits, government agencies, housing providers, health-care partners, and people with lived experience. Through this regional collaboration, it aligns resources, supports shared strategies, and uses data to guide community planning and measure progress.

Its work includes leading the annual Point-in-Time Count, publishing the State of Homelessness report, and supporting coordinated access to housing and services through Homelink, the area’s coordinated entry system. Close to Home also helps identify service gaps and strengthen the local homeless response system. The organization notes that it does not provide direct assistance such as shelter, food resources, or case management; people seeking help are directed to Homelink access points and other community resources.
