House staff are working on proposed amendments to the HEARTH Act - read our alert and help ensure that key provisions of HEARTH are retained as the bill moves forward.

NPACH Executive Director Jeremy Rosen will participate in the 11th annual Homelessness Radio Marathon, to be broadcast today and tomorrow from the streets of Nashville, TN. The 14 hour marathon begins tonight at 7pm EST, and ends tomorrow morning at 9am EST. Rosen will speak in the event's final hour, at 8am EST. The format will be a discussion, with questions from both the host and callers. The interview will focus on America's affordable housing needs, and what activities are being undertaken to meet them.

You can be an advocate for real change by making a financial contribution to NPACH.
Consider joining our Give|10 Campaign—just 10 dollars will help support our efforts to make federal policy more inclusive of the needs of families and children as well as assist our ongoing research, education, and technical assistance projects that seek long-term solutions to homelessness.
Why Give|10?
Because contributions from individuals allow us to speak freely and honestly about the direction of homelessness policy. NPACH is unique in its grassroots approach and global view, connecting community-based organizations, schools, and the public to national policy through our advocacy and education initiatives. As such, our style of advocacy does not often match the current structure, interests and priorities of many traditional sources of funding for homelessness and housing groups.
