Advocacy

CNHED’s member organizations work to ensure that under-resourced communities have housing and economic opportunities in neighborhoods throughout the District of Columbia in a variety of ways. CNHED plays an important and unique role in providing a forum for local nonprofits and mission-driven for-profits to discuss their policy needs. CNHED advocates forcefully on those issues on their behalf.
