Policy Priorities
Each year NCH sets public policy priorities for its ongoing work with lawmakers, advocates and provides alike. The priorities are set using feedback from people experiencing homelessness, national and local advocacy organizations, domestic federal agencies and lawmakers.
2018 Priorities:
-
Preserving the civil rights of people who are unhoused.
- See the #HousingNotHandcuffs Campaign, and our work around Criminalization, Homeless Bills of Rights, and Hate Crimes against the homeless
-
Advocating for programs and services that assist those experiencing homelessness.
- See our concerns about HUD funding, and the Campaign for Youth Shelter
-
Finding permanent funding sources for the creation of affordable housing.
- See more from our partner, the National Low Income Housing Coalition about the National Housing Trust Fund and United for Homes Campaign
