The coalition for the homeless is the nation's oldest advocacy and direct service organization helping homeless individuals and families. We believe that affordable housing, sufficient food and the chance to work for a living WAGE are fundamental rights in a civilized society. Our 11 frontline programs provide emergency food and clothing, eviction prevention, crisis services, permanent housing, job training and special programs for youth to over 3,500 homeless new yorkers each day. Our grassroots organizing, public education campaigns and impact litigation in new YORK city and throughout new YORK state protect homeless adults and children and create long-term, housing-based solutions to modern MASS homelessness.
This 501(c)(3) elected the 501(h) safe-harbor — lobbying expenditures are capped under a clear dollar formula instead of the "insubstantial part" standard.
