Get involved - Help to end homelessness through legislative advocacy
Political advocacy is essential to the effort to end homelessness. We must communicate to our legislators:
- Homelessness is unacceptable in our society.
- We need resources to create the housing and support that will end homelessness.
NEW: 2008 state legislative outcomes
We are grateful to report that in a time of great restraints on state expenditures, every one of the CEH legislative priorities developed to increase funding and services to end homelessness, received attention. Find out the details:

2008 legislative priorities
CEH adopts both a state legislative agenda and a federal legislative agenda (and often supports additional initiatives even if not formally adopted).

CEHKC with the Washington State Low Income Housing Alliance, Washington State
Coalition for the Homeless and the Housing Development Consortium and many other
partners gathered for Housing and Homelessness Advocacy Day in Olympia in February
2008 for an opportunity to meet with key legislators and discussed how the state
and local communities can work together to end homelessness. It’s a unique and
powerful day in Olympia and it’s your chance to join with hundreds advocates
for decent, safe, supportive and affordable homes. Get involved in next year's
Housing and Homelessness Advocacy Day. Keep an eye on the website for updates
on the 2009 event.
