Twenty-five years in the making: In 1985, the original HCH demonstration projects began operating in 19 cities across the country. In the quarter of a century since, we have seen our movement grow and change. Thanks to the dedication of thousands of clinicians combined with the leadership of those who have survived homelessness, our movement embraces over 200 health centers and more than 40 medical respite care programs dedicated to the unique needs of our clients.  
 
The National Council has become the professional home for more than 1,200 individual and agency members through our HCH Clinicians' Network, Respite Care Providers' Network, National Consumer Advisory Board and Organizational Memberships. Nineteen dedicated people work together as Council staff, doing amazing work that has made us THE driving, respected voice where discussions of homelessness, housing and national health care reform intersect.
