On this edition of The Weekend, Louie Saenz talks with Alex Vasquez, CoC Compliance Director of the El Paso Coalition for the Homeless to discuss how the El Paso Coalition assists those seeking to avoid homelessness.

The El Paso Coalition for the Homeless is a Texas non-profit corporation that serves as a coordinating entity for agencies and individuals who provide housing, services, and support to those experiencing homelessness. Their main objective is a focus on moving those who are experiencing homelessness into permanent housing, especially during this holiday season to help those seeking shelter.
