Thomas Jefferson Area Coalition for the Homeless is part of the Service Provider Council (SPC), a group of representatives from area social service agencies that provide critical prevention and intervention services to the homeless and very poor of Central Virginia. SPC meets monthly to identify ways to improve the system of care for the homeless of our community by avoiding duplication of services, filling in gaps in the safety net and sharing information.

The SPC meets on the first Tuesday of the month between 1-2:30 pm at Albemarle County Office Building on McIntire, Charlottesville, VA. All are welcome to attend.
