The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV) — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization governed by a 23-member board of directors — is the resource and technical assistance center for a national network of community-based service providers and local, state and federal agencies that provide emergency and supportive housing, food, health services, job training and placement assistance, legal aid and case management support for hundreds of thousands of homeless veterans each year. NCHV also serves as the primary liaison between the nation’s care providers, Congress and the executive branch agencies charged with helping them succeed in their work. NCHV’s advocacy has strengthened and increased funding for virtually every federal homeless veteran assistance program in existence today. NCHV's Technical Assistance and Training Center provides guidance and information about program development, administration, governance and funding to all of the nation’s homeless veteran service providers.
