Monthly 2026

NSHHC Monthly Policy Update Calls

Hosted by the NSHHC, coalition members and other partners are invited to join a series of monthly coalition meetings to discuss national policy updates and to hear from a different state or local group in a short presentation about their recent work, project, or success. For the final portion of these calls, all attendees are invited to join an informal discussion, raise questions or concerns, and share information with one another. While the national and state/local presentations may be recorded during each session, the last discussion portion will not be recorded or shared, and we encourage participants to engage in an open, candid discussion with each other. The NSHHC Monthly Policy Update calls occur on the second Thursday of each month.

Sign up to join one or all of the recurring calls here.

November 2025

NSHHC Monthly Policy Update Call

During the second monthly national policy update call, held November, 19, 2025, coalition members participated in a presentation and open discussion format to discuss federal policy updates and impacts on state and local programs. To start, NCHH and GHHI provided updates about the federal government shutdown ending the week prior on November 12 (beginning October 1 and lasting 43 days) and the passage of a continuing resolution (CR) to appropriate funding at the same levels until the end of January 2026. The discussion centered on advocacy opportunities for Fiscal Year 2026 and the continuation of funding through the CR at previously appropriated levels. During the presentation portion of the call, the National Carbon Monoxide Awareness Association presented on the organization’s recent national- and state-level advocacy, awareness campaigns, and opportunities to engage with the organization, including completing a CO safety training.

October 2025

NSHHC Monthly Policy Update Call

On October, 9, 2025, the coalition hosted the first of a series of monthly national policy update calls in which coalition members joined for an hour-long presentation that included an open discussion session. During the hour, coalition members listened to national organizations NCHH and GHHI about the current landscape of federal healthy housing policy, specifically in relation to the current status of Fiscal Year 2026 federal appropriations and what was known so far about the outlook for healthy housing agency program funding. Next, Lead-Free NJ described how their collaborative has successfully used collective impact to advocate for statewide systems-level change.

Lastly, participants engaged in an open-forum discussion to inquire about federal or local policy and exchange resources and success stories. [mp4; NSHHC, 2025]

May 2025

National Safe and Healthy Housing Coalition Hill Day

Annually, NSHHC’s Hill Day works to raise the profile of healthy homes issues and recommend full funding for crucially important federal programs in the CDC, EPA, and HUD agencies. In May 2025, over 60 coalition members advocated for critical healthy housing funding with their legislators (or their staff) either in-person at congressional offices or virtually. Having constituents on hand to share their personal experiences with home-based hazards, describe the work they conduct for healthy homes programs, or explain the ways that healthy homes programs have helped them in the state and/or district they represent, is what truly personalizes the issue for members of Congress.
