We work with policymakers to advance proven, cost-effective solutions that help people with complex needs get housed and stay housed.
Our housing and homelessness policy solutions build safe, thriving communities where everyone has the opportunity to have a place to call home. We advance non-partisan policies that expand affordable homes and supportive services, helping people with disabilities and complex health needs achieve stability while reducing reliance on costly crisis services.
Urgent Advocacy Actions
Coalition Building
The strongest policy solutions are built together. Through leadership and participation in coalitions nationwide, CSH advances policies that expand opportunity, sustain affordable housing, and strengthen the supportive services people need to thrive. See how we work with coalitions through our policy priorities below.
Our Current Policy Priorities
More Affordable Housing
Effective policy accelerates the development and preservation of affordable housing through sustainable financing, practical zoning reforms, expanded Housing Choice Vouchers, and investments such as the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC).
Coordinated Services
Effective policy provides adequate and sustained funding for critical supportive services that are coordinated across systems, accountable, and person-centered, helping people achieve long-term stability.
Unsheltered Homelessness Response
Effective policy solutions help communities respond rapidly and effectively to unsheltered homelessness and encampments, improving safety, reducing reliance on costly crisis systems, and helping people move indoors more quickly.
Supportive Housing as a Proven Solution
We equip policymakers with evidence and policy frameworks that advance supportive housing as a proven solution to homelessness, helping people with complex health and social needs achieve stability while reducing taxpayer costs.
