Advocacy

We are committed to advocating with people experiencing homelessness. 


Health care and supportive services are essential to minimizing the suffering of our neighbors without homes. We need visionary—even revolutionary—change to make that happen.

So advocacy is core to the Health Care for the Homeless mission. Our advocates span staff, clients, partners, donors and volunteers, with the most powerful voice being that of those who know homelessness first-hand.

 

 

How do we advocate for policies that will prevent and end homelessness?


LOBBY DAY

Every year, we engage with lawmakers, partners and our community to advance our advocacy agenda on the local, state and national levels.

This Lobby Day, hundreds of staff members and clients rallied and attend dozens of lawmaker meetings to discuss the issues that directly affect our neighbors without homes. Check out some fun photos from Lobby Day 2020. 

2021 Legislative session

Advocacy at Health Care for the Homeless doesn't end with Lobby Day. We stay in the know during the legislative session to advance our advocacy priorities.

See where we landed with 2021 legislative priorities here.
