I worked with NLCHP for over two years. I was consistently impressed with the huge impact they were able to make on very limited resources - there are many groups who provide direct services, but so few who work to change the underlying conditions that have caused the housing and homelessness crisis in America.
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... Everything from new federal legislation to individual stories of families who found housing because of NLCHP's work.
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... Amazing!!
Ways to make it better!
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... Lack of funding, even as the housing crisis means that more people need more help than ever before.
I was a General Member of the Public & When I was part of the staff, I raised money for NLCHP's programs.

NLCHP is one of the most effective national groups in the fight to end homelessness and poverty in America. The staff and volunteers promote positive social change on a daily basis through their work with grassroots advocates, the private bar, students, and direct service providers.

- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... gaining bipartisan political support for legislation that addresses the root causes of homelessness and preventing cities from punishing people for being homeless.
