Homelessness in Houston

HHH originated from an initial partnership between Baylor College of Medicine and SEARCH Homeless Project. After several years of providing medical services to Houston’s homeless, the need to integrate care from a broader perspective became evident. Extensive discussion and planning by numerous community-based homeless agencies and healthcare providers led to the formation of the HHH Advisory Council, which is comprised of representatives from these organizations together with homeless consumers. In 1999, the Advisory Council determined the need to create an independent nonprofit corporation to more effectively utilize scarce resources through cooperative planning.
