Hello! We are the Community Strategic Team, a group of experts who work alongside the National Alliance to End Homelessness to drive person-centered, compassionate strategies to make sure everyone has a place to call home.

Having experienced homelessness firsthand, we understand the barriers that people face when navigating the homelessness response system. We all have a story that deserves to be heard, and we are using ours to help to shape policies and best practices around homelessness to drive real change on a national level.

We wanted share why it’s important to have people with lived experience of homelessness involved in the Alliance’s work:

“It’s important that the voices at the table are coming from individuals closest to the issue.”

— Stanley Sorrell

"Involving individuals with lived experience in decision-making is vital because it ensures that policies and programs are grounded in real-world experiences. Our perspectives help bridge the gap between theory and practice.”

— Jae Lange

“The Community Strategic Team allows me to bring my authentic voice to this work and feel trusted that it is valued and heard. It’s an opportunity for us to build traditions and principles that incorporate lived experience into all aspects and sectors of the movement to ending homelessness.”

— Robert Leyden

“People with lived experience of homelessness have firsthand insights into the barriers, challenges, and systemic issues that contribute to and perpetuate homelessness. Their involvement ensures that national strategies are practical, targeted, and responsive to the needs of those directly impacted.”

— Amanda Saurber

The Alliance’s work is grounded in collaboration: with those who have faced homelessness, with communities, with organizations, and with you. A movement cannot happen alone. Your support is crucial to the work to end homelessness.

Whether through your donations, your advocacy, or your support of the Alliance’s programs, you are a key part of the solution. Together, we are building a stronger, more compassionate society where everyone can love where they live.
