National Homelessness Law Center
The National Homelessness Law Center is the only national organization dedicated solely to using the power of the law to end and prevent homelessness. Partnering with pro bono attorneys, the Law Center brings high impact litigation, leads and supports federal, state and local advocacy campaigns, and educates providers, advocates, and the public. Our work creates homes and communities for families, children, veterans, elderly and disabled people experiencing homelessness using surplus government property, improves access to housing for domestic violence survivors and their children, secures education rights for children experiencing homelessness, and protects human rights and dignity by striking down laws that prevent people experiencing homelessness from voting and that punish them for their homelessness.
