The Coalition on Human Needs is a Washington, DC–based alliance of national organizations that collaborates to promote public policies aimed at reducing the needs of low-income and other vulnerable populations. Its membership encompasses civil rights groups, religious organizations, labor unions, professional associations, and groups focused on the well‑being of children, women, the elderly, and people with disabilities. The organization operates within the public policy sector, aiming to influence policy discussions and public programs to address poverty and related needs. CHN positions itself as a coalition that brings together diverse stakeholders to advance shared objectives through advocacy and policy engagement. With a footprint in the public policy arena and a focus on vulnerable communities, CHN serves partner organizations and advocates who seek coordinated action on core social policy issues. The group has a history of issuing analyses and outreach efforts, including notable initiatives like the launch of a national Child Tax Credit outreach project in early 2023 and collaboration on public-interest campaigns such as Protecting Immigrant Families. Based in the District of Columbia, CHN coordinates its activities through a network-oriented approach to influence policy outcomes relevant to low-income and vulnerable populations.
