What is Capitol Hill Day?
This event, held in conjunction with the Alliance's annual National Conference on Ending Homelessness, July 13-15, 2011 in Washington, DC, gives participants a chance to meet with their Members of Congress to take part in federal advocacy - a critical component in our work to end homelessness. The meeting goals are to:
- Establish/build relationships with your Congressional offices;
- Educate your Senators and Representatives on your success and progress at home; and
- Encourage them to work in support of policy initiatives to end homelessness.
