The Law Center launched the Homeless Advocates Group (HAG) to bring together a coalition of national organizations working across numerous issues—including housing, health care, and education—that share the common goal of reducing and ending homelessness.

HAG members meet monthly to discuss the latest developments in public policy on homelessness issues and coordinate advocacy around shared goals. In 2012, on the 25th Anniversary of the McKinney-Vento Act, HAG members presented a joint vision for ending homelessness in America, and concrete policy changes to carry it forward.
