ADVOCACY
Join us to mobilize our community and speak out against proposed cuts to homeless services. Through our advocacy, we drive investment — political and financial — to fight for our neighbors in need. Our advocate teams testify at every relevant DC Council hearing each year, urging our elected officials to direct resources to proven, rapid solutions like homelessness prevention, rehousing and job placement, while investing sufficient funds in supportive housing to end homelessness for those who are more vulnerable and need longer-term help.
