Working Groups

Working groups allow coalition members to engage in focused work to develop and maintain the foundation and structure of NAHC. Our current working groups are:

Community Connectors Working Group builds relationships with the Native community, institutional partners, and service providers in the Denver Metro area through outreach, policy advocacy, and direct service that is community-led and defined, especially by those with lived experience of homelessness and housing insecurity. We recognize that our peoples are the original stewards of these lands, and it’s our mission to strengthen our relationship to the land while promoting the physical and spiritual wellness of our relatives in the Denver Metro Native community.

Infrastructure Working Group builds and maintains the foundation of NAHC as a coalition while also forming a non-profit organization that is sustainable and ensures the work is designed for the future of our community. Our working group is accountable to the community, to NAHC, and to each other.

Research and Relationship Collective builds bridges among NAHC members, the Native community, and allies through effective research, communications and genuine relationship building. In building bridges, RR also aligns all NAHC members priorities in NAHC work.
