What is a CHRA Caucus?

  • Caucuses are groups of CHRA members who share an interest in a specific issue related to housing and/or homelessness. 
  • A caucus networks and shares information and best practices.
 
Why join a CHRA Caucus? 
  • Become part of a ‘go-to’ group of members interested in the same issue.
  • Help CHRA to better understand and reflect your caucus’ issue in our policies and messages.
