If You are Experiencing Homelessness
The Council does not offer direct homeless services like providing shelter or care. The most direct way to get help in your area is to dial “211” or go to 211.org. It will refer you to LOCAL services in your city or state. To find HCH’s in your area, you can go to our Directory here.
The Council supports 3 pillars of service:



Training
We support HCHs, Advocates, and Consumer Leaders through Webinars, Courses, Regional and National Training, and Conferences, as well as providing Technical Support and access to experts in the field of Health Care for the Homeless. Our Clinical team works to continually improve standards of care and help in training HCH staff.
Research
Our Research team finds and collects data from various regional and national sources, often working with governmental bodies and private organizations. We offer these up for free by using dashboards, publications, and live as well recorded presentations.






Advocacy
Our advocacy team works with political leaders to help effect change both nationally as well as regionally and produces material to support activists in the fight to end homelessness and improve medical care to those who have become homeless.
Who do we serve
Beyond our work in the fight to end Homelessness we serve Over 200 Healthcare for the Homeless facilities across the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.
