The Alliance’s Consumer Advisory Board (CAB) consists of members who have experienced or are currently experiencing homelessness to inform the work of the organization and to serve in advocacy capacity, both at the federal level and in their local communities. The primary goals of the CAB are to elevate consumer voices in policy discussions; develop consumers as key advocates in important issues related to homelessness; and to inform the Alliance’s work in designing and advocating for policies on homelessness.
The CAB is named in honor of Eric Jungels, a public affairs officer for the North Dakota National Guard and a veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, who advocates for ending homelessness.
