National Coalition For Homeless Veterans

Direct training involved hosting focus groups with aging veterans, which helped us identify gaps in the system, highlighting that aging veterans experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity are a distinct subgroup at the intersection of three systems: Veteran, Homelessness, and Aging. Developed a series of self-paced learning modules hosted on nchv.org to educate the public and members about veteran homelessness.

Legislative advocacy - we actively engage with Congress, the Executive Branch, and federal agencies to advance policies that address the root causes of veteran homelessness and expand support systems. We also created a congressional site visit guide and advocacy toolkit to help members better engage with lawmakers. Our advocacy efforts aim to ensure long-term, systemic change that benefits veterans across the nation.
