Housing NOW! is a national campaign advancing bold, practical solutions to end homelessness. We believe housing is a human right and that no one should be punished for surviving without it.
Across the country, homelessness is rising while vacant and underused buildings sit empty. Instead of investing in criminalization, we are pushing for housing-first strategies that move people indoors quickly, affordably, and with dignity.
A key pillar of this campaign is the Housing NOW! is a national campaign advancing bold, practical solutions to end homelessness. We believe housing is a human right and that no one should be punished for surviving without it.
Homelessness is not inevitable. It is the result of policy choices. Housing NOW! calls on leaders, advocates, and communities to choose solutions that prioritize people, stability, and care.

Housing NOW! National Day of Action Rally | Oct. 21, 2026
On Wednesday, October 21, the National Coalition for the Homeless invites communities across the country to unite for the second annual Housing NOW! National Day of Action. Together, we will raise our voices to protect housing, defend homeless assistance, reject the criminalization of homelessness, and demand bold action that puts people before politics. Because housing is a human right, and lasting change happens when the people unite.
Housing NOW! Adaptive Reuse Initiative | March 18th
We are calling for the creation of 1,000,000 units of adaptive reuse housing over the next 10 years. By transforming vacant and underused buildings, we can move faster, lower costs, and deliver real housing solutions to people who cannot afford to wait. As part of this effort, we invite advocates and partners to join us for National Lobby Advocacy Day on March 18, where we will urge state leaders to recognize adaptive reuse as a vital housing solution and a critical step toward ending homelessness.
