Our History

In 1996, the City of Montgomery appointed 20 organizational representatives to be the Montgomery Coalition for the Homeless.  The members of the Coalition met monthly to discuss issues related to homelessness in the Montgomery area, resulting in the award of the first HUD homeless continuum of care grant in 1997 subsequent to the formation of the organization.

On December 20, 2001, the Montgomery Area Coalition for the Homeless, Inc. was incorporated as an Alabama nonprofit corporation eligible for tax exemption as an IRS 501(c)3 charitable nonprofit organization. Also, MACH was incorporated as a membership organization which included representatives of organizations that provide services to the homeless population and individuals interested in homeless issues.   Over the year, MACH officially expanded its activities to include Montgomery, Autauga, Bullock, Elmore, and Lowndes counties.  As a result of this expansion, MACH began doing business as the Mid-Alabama Coalition for the Homeless on December 9, 2003.  From 2001 to 2006, the members of the Board of Directors were 30 of the organizational representatives and supportive members. It was decided by the membership that a smaller Board of Directors was needed for the governance of the organization, and on January 26, 2006 , MACH elected a thirteen member Board of Directors to govern the organization.
