The National Homelessness Law Center is a nonprofit organization focused on using legal avenues to prevent and address homelessness. It collaborates with pro bono attorneys to pursue high-impact litigation, supports advocacy campaigns at federal, state, and local levels, and provides education to providers, advocates, and the public. The center seeks to create housing opportunities and safer, more stable communities for families, children, veterans, the elderly, and people with disabilities experiencing homelessness, including efforts to repurpose surplus government property and to improve access to housing for domestic violence survivors. It also aims to protect rights related to education for homeless children and defend the human rights and dignity of homeless individuals, including challenging laws that restrict their voting rights or criminalize homelessness. Based in Washington, DC, the organization operates within the nonprofit sector and engages a range of partners to advance legal reforms and housing justice. Recent activity includes collaborations addressing federal funding for homelessness solutions and ongoing updates to the State Index on youth homelessness, reflecting its focus on documenting legal and systemic barriers faced by those experiencing homelessness.
