USICH

USICH is the only federal agency with the sole mission of preventing and ending homelessness in America. We harness the collective power of 19 federal agencies to drive a coordinated strategy and support state and local governments and the private sector to create partnerships, implement evidence-based best practices, and use resources in the most efficient and effective ways... USICH was originally authorized by Congress through Title II of the landmark Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987 to serve as an independent establishment in the executive branch. The agency was most recently reauthorized by the 2009 Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act. View the USICH bylaws.
