Advocacy Network, Congressional Reception Add comments

The New Jersey Advocacy Network to End Homelessness’ mission is to advocate on a federal level for adequate funding for permanent affordable and supportive housing for homeless individuals and families.

The New Jersey Advocacy Network to End Homelessness is a statewide organization that coordinated its First Annual Congressional Reception on July 11, 2007. New Jersey was well represented by more than one hundred (100) New Jersey constituents including the formerly homeless, passionate advocates and housing providers from across the state. People traveled by train, bus and car to get there to be part of this unique opportunity to meet with our legislators to let them hear firsthand issues of importance to our communities. The Second Annual Congressional Reception will be held on July 30, 2008.

The New Jersey Advocacy Network to End Homelessness has two forms of membership.

The Steering Committee of the New Jersey Advocacy Network to End Homelessness is comprised of statewide or national organizations. These organizations have committed to sharing the cost of the Second Annual Congressional Reception which will be held on July 30, 2008.

Members of the New Jersey Advocacy Network to End Homelessness are local organizations involved in efforts to end homelessness. These organizations are not required to share the costs of the Congressional Reception. They will be invited to attend the meetings of the Steering Committee and will be involved in implementing advocacy events on a local level.

The New Jersey Advocacy Network to End Homelessness encourages new members. For more information on how to join please contact Richard W. Brown [Email address: rbrown #AT# monarchhousing.org - replace #AT# with @ ] via email or phone 908-272-5363.
