The National Coalition for the Homeless
has a new director, a new website, some new Board members and a renewed
focus on community organizing and building a movement around housing
and homelessness. There are so many national groups focused on
homelessness, but NCH has a 30 year history of focusing on Civil Rights
and representing the interests of those living in shelters or on the
streets. They have a strong past including leading the passage of the
McKinney Vento legislation that protects homeless children and funds all
the shelters. They have fought against laws directed at homeless
people and raised awareness about hate crimes against those who spend
time sleeping outside.
