Because Health Care is a Right, Not a Privilege Advocacy Goals Integration of service and advocacy is the hallmark of Health Care for the Homeless. The National Health Care for the Homeless Council and the HCH Clinicians' Network involve homeless service providers and their clients in political action to prevent and end homelessness. We strive to accomplish these goals by informing public policy makers, mainstream health care providers, and the general public about the causes and consequences of homelessness in the United States, and by working at the national, state, and local levels to ensure: • Universal access to health care, • Affordable housing regardless of income, • Livable wages for persons able to work, • Public support for persons with disabilities, and • Strong and effective safety net programs until universal solutions are implemented.
