Connecting Communities to End Homelessness
The greatest innovations in ending homelessness take place at the community level.
We bring together leaders, advocates, service providers, and people with lived experience to share best practices and lessons learned from their communities, drive innovations, and build lasting solutions for ending homelessness.
Conferences for Learning and Connection
Our conferences empower service providers; advocates; people with lived expertise; federal, state, and local officials; and system leaders by fostering collaboration, sparking innovation, and offering actionable solutions to homelessness. Through our two national events, attendees gain practical tools, build invaluable connections, and leave reinvigorated — ready to drive impactful change in their communities.
Capitol Hill Day: Advocacy in Action
Capitol Hill Day equips advocates to educate Members of Congress, sharing critical insights on homelessness and the resources that our communities need, and fostering relationships that drive policy change. Guided by our expert team, participants — whether seasoned advocates or first-timers — gain the confidence to combine their personal stories with evidence-based solutions, ensuring their voices contribute to transformative and lasting impact.
Committees and Councils: Shaping Policy and Practice Together
The Alliance convenes and leads councils and committees focused on research, policy, capacity building, and lived experience, bringing together experts, practitioners, and voices from the field to fuel solutions. These groups serve as a vital bridge, offering strategic perspectives and lived expertise to ensure our efforts align with the real needs of the communities we serve.
