The National Health Care for the Homeless Council operates at the intersection of homelessness and health care, with a mission rooted in human rights and social justice to build an equitable, high-quality health care system through training, research, and advocacy aimed at ending homelessness. It supports improvements in care by offering training and technical assistance, disseminating best practices through research, advocating for durable solutions, and elevating the perspectives of people experiencing homelessness. A recent development is that the council plans a four-session Learning Collaborative in fall 2025 to support integrating health management assessment and interventions into homeless care settings.

The council's membership includes Health Care for the Homeless programs that deliver direct health care and supportive services to unhoused individuals. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, it functions as a national public health organization focused on advancing health care access for the homeless population. It engages in conferences and policy discussions and has formed partnerships to expand its reach, such as a 2024 collaboration with the Americares Foundation to distribute newly developed educational materials for health care professionals.
