NEW! Hill Day Planning Event

Friday, March 5 – 8:00 am to 4:00 pm (Capitol Hill Day)

Capitol Hill Day provides advocates with the opportunity to meet with their members of Congress to oppose funding cuts to affordable housing and homelessness programs, expand resources for vital initiatives, advance anti-racist policies, and support legislation that improves the lives of millions of low-income people.

The day will begin with an optional kickoff event at Lutheran Church of the Reformation (212 East Capitol St NE, Washington, DC 20003).

NLIHC will provide shuttle service to and from the Lutheran Church for Hill Day. These services can accommodate wheelchairs. The last shuttle will leave the Hilton at 4:00 pm.
