Advocacy

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.

In federal, state and local government offices, we aspire to:

• Center and amplify the voices of people with the lived experience of homelessness
• Reinvest in the common good—access to food, housing, health care and fair wages
• Partner with community-based organizations also doing this work
