Bring America Home Now

The National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH) is renewing its support for Civil Rights, including Racial Inequities. NCH supported the introduction of the Hero's Act to address the many individuals impacted by a housing crisis that has been ignited by the COVID-19 epidemic. The Bill calls for $ 100 Billion in new housing resources and additional funds for Homeless Assistance. The Bill is critical as an economist has reported a potential 45% increase in homeless as a result of evictions caused by the pandemic.

NCH has partnered with HUD and ABt Associates to provide people who have experienced homelessness with opportunities to help shape policy directives released by HUD. NCH continues to collaborate with the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty on the Housing Not Handcuffs Campaign to protect against criminalization efforts against people experiencing homelessness. The NCH, Hate Crimes report, is nearing its final stages of development.

NCH has transformed the face to face Speaker's Bureau Activities into a digital format. People experiencing homelessness present their stories as part of the "Faces of Homelessness" speakers bureau on ZOOM calls across the country.

NCH will begin monthly Town Hall meeting in August aimed at raising the voices of people experiencing homelessness and their allies Please stay tuned for more information.  Nch is also continuing to ensure participation in the voting system with the "You Don't Need a Home to Vote Campaign"
