Policy Development

Over more than two decades, COHHO has been influential in addressing policies, plans, programs and procedures that address homeless services. This is especially true with respect to concerns regarding housing and shelter services.

It is COHHO’s goal to continue to generate new and innovative ideas that will improve the city’s functioning when dealing with housing and homeless services.For additional information on these issues visit the Communication with Decision-makers and Reports pages.

About COHHO

We are a diverse group of individuals– ranging from the currently homeless and the formerly homeless, to social workers and executive directors of not-for-profit organizations.

We are brought together in order to improve the lives of those who are homeless and those at-risk for homelessness.

Our Vision

COHHO seeks to improve housing and supportive services for all homeless and nearly homeless people in the District of Columbia.
