We accomplish our mission by strengthening our coordinated system of care, promoting sustainable strategies, focusing on measurable impact, and advocating for people experiencing homelessness.
Close to Home, founded in 2015, serves as the lead agency for San Antonio and Bexar County’s homeless response system, the Alliance to House Everyone. We align funding, strengthen services, and drive community coordinated policy change, while grounding every decision in data and lived experience, to ensure everyone in our community has a place to call home.
The Alliance to House Everyone, facilitated by Close to Home, is San Antonio and Bexar County’s homeless response system — uniting 75+ cross-sector partners to align resources, strengthen collaboration, and implement strategies that make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring.

Our Core Beliefs
We believe in the dignity and value of every human being. We work intentionally to create outcomes for everyone.
Homelessness is caused by a lack of affordable housing, services, trauma and other barriers.
Ongoing partnerships with people who have experienced homelessness are paramount to impactful systems change.
Collaboration and coordination are critical to driving systems change and closing gaps. No single organization can solve homelessness.
Everyone can be successful in housing with the appropriate intervention and supportive services.
The integrity and understanding of our data are essential to inform decision-making and improve performance.
