  • Who We Are

    DHN seeks to promote policies that aim to eliminate the root causes of poverty and provide support for those currently experiencing poverty.

    DHN acheives these aims through four subcommittees:

    1. Tax and Budget - Advocates for policies that promote human needs programs and tax justice with the belief that the federal budget is a moral document reflecting the priorities of our nation.

    2. Hunger and Nutrition - Focuses on advancing policies that protect and strenghten federal nutrition assistance programs.

    3. Housing and Homelessness - Committed to public policies and proven programs that reduce homelessness and increases affordable housing.

    4. Jobs, Economu, and Labor - Strives to ensure everyone has access to meaningful, dignified work with a livable wage, paid sick and family leave, and other means of empowerment in the workplace.

    DHN is a committee of the Washington Interfaith Staff Community (WISC). Learn more about WISC here: Washington Interfaith Staff Community
