Dear Law Center supporter, The Human Right to Housing Awards will take place in just under two months on Tuesday November 18, 2025, at the National Homelessness Law Center’s Headquarters in Washington DC. Check out all our up-to-date information at our Human Right to Housing Awards homepage here!
We are so thrilled to announce two more of our Awardees today, named after two of the biggest proponents of homeless advocacy in Congress: Bruce F. Vento and Stewart B. McKinney. Joinus in learning more and celebrating this year’s incredible honorees working to end homelessness!
The National Homelessness Law Center will be honoring U.S. Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester from Delaware, as our 2025 Bruce F. Vento Award Recipient. This nonpartisan award is given to Senator Blunt Rochester because she has been a fierce advocate for unhoused Americans, and we are so thrilled she will join us in person at the 2025 Human Right to Housing Awards! Senator Blunt Rochester’s willingness to reach across the aisle and bring partners together to address the severe affordable housing shortage in
the U.S. and help prevent homelessness is critical in these times.
In addition, we will be honoring the nonprofit and nonpartisan newsroom CalMatters, based in California. Over the past year, CalMatters has engaged in a multi-part, multimedia series, spending several months interviewing experts on homelessness, doing a deep dive on all available data and most importantly, visiting encampments to document firsthand how enforcement efforts have displaced unhoused people and
the devastating aftermath of these cruel and inhumane sweeps. It is exactly this type of journalistic integrity that our country so desperately needs in this time of misinformation, and we are so grateful for the high-quality reporting that CalMatters is bringing to the homelessness crisis.
