The Advocacy Network
Laying the foundation together.
Over recent years, the coalition has been reconnecting with its roots as a strong advocate for securing essential support for those who are unhoused or at risk. As part of our renewed Vision, Mission and Values, we’re laying the foundation for the New West Advocacy Network — supporting the implementation of the City’s Homelessness Action Strategy, and equipping residents with the information and resources to advocate on the issues that matter.
Want to help lay this foundation? Contact us if you’d like more information, want to support advocacy efforts, or get involved in any way.
