CNHED believes that an ample supply and array of solutions is needed to end chronic homelessness and to sustain a continuum of housing that meets the needs of the most economically vulnerable residents of the District. CNHED supports Housing First, as well as other evidence-based models that demonstrate successful outcomes for their residents.
All District residents deserve decent, quality housing at a price they can afford. We call on District officials to invest in the housing programs that meet that need.
CNHED’s housing working groups are open to members and non-members dedicated to solving some of the most important housing issues facing Washington, DC. These groups are formed from key advocacy priorities identified by CNHED’s Housing Committee. Each working group is chaired by a CNHED Board member who reports the group’s strategies to the appropriate committee. To get involved please complete the online sign up form or simply stop by a meeting.
