The Coalition for Nonprofit Housing and Economic Development (CNHED) is a dynamic nonprofit that advances community economic development solutions that address the inequity of Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and other under-resourced communities in the District of Columbia. Our holistic systems change approach encompasses community-informed budget and policy advocacy, data-driven thought leadership, and needs-based program initiatives in Housing and Homelessness, Workforce Development, Small and minority-Owned Business Ecosystem Building, and community engagement. Since its inception in 2000, CNHED has grown from 55 organizations to nearly 140 today. CNHED’s strength is in its convening power, highly successful advocacy, robust communications and information sharing, and equipping its members with tools and resources for their work.
