Neeley People Spotlight

Cindy Crain is a leading voice on the issue of homelessness in Tarrant County.

As executive director of the Tarrant County Homeless Coalition, Cindy leads, coordinates and develops strategies and resources to end homelessness in Tarrant County, partnering with more than 70 agencies.  

Cindy launched web-based applications for housing and homelessness organizations, now a model for Continuum of Care entities throughout the U.S. She helped integrate the Tarrant County Health Department TB testing procedures with the homeless database identification system, which reduced TB occurrences while providing accurate census data. Through her leadership, strategies have been developed in cooperation with MedStar, JPS Health Network and the UNT Health Science Center medical school to facilitate a more effective, preventative system of health care delivery for homeless people in Tarrant County.

Cindy has researched, written and speaks frequently about homelessness and the capacity for each person to directly impact and improve the community for all residents.

“Neeley gave me a toolbox of skills that I draw upon daily, including accounting, normalizing data, marketing survey methodologies, solving problems as a team, public presentations, SWOT analysis and more. I graduated 20 years ago and that toolbox turned out to have a lifetime guarantee.”
