Coalition on Human Needs

CHN was founded in 1981 to bring together organizations and advocates who promote policies that support and enrich the lives of low-income and vulnerable families and individuals throughout the United States. CHN’s members include civil rights, religious, labor, and advocacy organizations concerned with the wellbeing of low-income individuals, children, women, the elderly, and people with disabilities. CHN helps more than 100 national and grassroots organizations work together to raise awareness about and support for issues affecting poor and vulnerable populations in our country. Staff members track dozens of issues and help other organizations stay on top of new developments in public policy and affect policy change in key areas for human needs
