National Health Care for the Homeless Council, Inc.

The National Health Care for the Homeless Council,
Inc., recognizes and believes that homelessness is
unacceptable; that every person has the right to
adequate food, housing, clothing and health care; that
all people have the right to participate in the decisions
affecting their lives; that contemporary homelessness
is the product of conscious social and economic policy
decisions that have retreated from a commitment to
insuring basic life necessities for all people; and that
the struggle to end homelessness and alleviate its
consequences takes many forms, including efforts to
insure adequate housing, health care, and access to
meaningful work. The mission of the National Health
Care for the Homeless Council is to help bring about
reform of the health care system to best serve the
needs of people who are homeless, to work in alliance
with others whose broader purpose is to eliminate
homelessness, and to provide support to Council
members.
