About TAC The Technical Assistance Collaborative (TAC) is a national organization that drives policy and systems solutions for the human services, health care, homelessness, and affordable housing challenges facing our country.

For over 30 years, TAC has provided policy leadership, technical assistance, and consultation to federal, state, and local government agencies and national policy, advocacy, philanthropic, and nonprofit organizations.
