The Suncoast Housing Collaborative (SHC) was formed in 2022 as an intentional partnership between service providers, community members, and property owners focused on identifying solutions to the housing shortage in Manatee and Sarasota counties.

Objective

SHC believes in a Housing First model which aims to connect people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity to permanent housing as the first step in gaining self-sufficiency.

We believe that success goes beyond obtaining physical shelter. Wraparound services are provided by local nonprofits to help each unique person or family receive the resources they need to establish long-term housing stability.
