About NACH
The North Alabama Coalition for the Homeless was established in 1997. We proudly serve the homeless population of Madison, Morgan, and Limestone Counties of North Alabama and as the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) lead agency for the AL-503 Continuum of Care. NACH is governed by a diverse board of directors who hail from all walks of life both personally and professionally. In addition, we operate a satellite office generously donated to us by the Huntsville Main Library, which provides referrals and direct services to those that qualify.
