History edit
In 1983, the National Citizens Committee for Food and Shelter was established to meet the emergency needs of the homeless population. In 1987, the Committee determined that a more comprehensive approach was necessary and created the National Alliance to End Homelessness.[1] In May of 2022, Ann Oliva was named the new President and CEO of the organization, taking over for the previous CEO, Nan Ronan.
