Collaboration for Change ending homelessness

What
we do

 

The South Alamo Regional Alliance for the Homeless (SARAH) works with agencies across San Antonio and Bexar County to end homelessness.

As the local Continuum of Care Lead Agency; SARAH is charged to create an improved service system that effectively provides support, coordination, and housing to all homeless populations within San Antonio and Bexar County, with a primary focus on moving individuals and families out of homelessness efficiently and permanently.

Our goal is for homelessness to be a rare, brief, and nonrecurring event.
