Transforming systems through the power of our stories. We bring the voices of individuals with lived experience into the center of the conversation to emphasize humanity and drive meaningful policy change.
Homelessness is not just a policy issue; it is a human reality. The HEAL Network brings the voices of individuals with lived experience into the center of the conversation.
Founded in 2019, we are organizing to move public policies toward solutions that work—because we know what happens when they don't.
We meet every other month to organize, learn, and strategize. These gatherings feature rotating workshops on advocacy and policy, bringing the work directly to affordable housing communities across San Diego.
Join us to connect with others who share your commitment to housing justice.
The HEAL Network’s advocacy is built on five core pillars designed to create a more equitable and just housing system for all San Diegans.
Securing permanent state and local revenue to fund essential housing initiatives.
Promoting fair housing and transit-oriented development to build inclusive communities.
Streamlining processing and reducing bureaucratic hurdles to lower housing costs.
Stronger eviction protections and anti-displacement measures for vulnerable tenants.
Prioritizing "Housing First" models and robust supportive services for those in need.
Join the HEAL Network for monthly updates and community forums.
Resources and tools curated to empower your voice and strengthen our collective impact.
The HEAL Network is governed by those with the expertise that matters most: lived experience. Our leadership structure ensures accountability, representation, and community power.
Your partnership helps sustain the HEAL Network's leadership development, community gatherings, and advocacy efforts. Sponsorship supports residents with lived experience of homelessness in building leadership skills, shaping housing policy, and bringing their perspectives directly to decision-makers. Together, we can strengthen resident leadership and advance a more equitable housing future.
