MICAH - Metropolitan Interfaith Council on Affordable Housing - Our Mission

MICAH lives out the prophetic vision that calls us "to do justice, to love mercy and to walk humbly with God". (Micah 6:8).
MICAH envisions a metropolitan area where everyone, without exception, has a safe, decent, accessible, and affordable home.

Please join us to make MICAH's vision a reality.

Bring America Home NOW

Bring America Home Now is a comprehensive, multi-agency, grassroots campaign to end homelessness in the United States. Led by people who have themselves experienced homelessness, we focus on the passage of federal legislation aimed at addressing the interconnected solutions to the decades-long epidemic of homelessness.

Wonderful Feeling Being Face to Face Again from LindaLee

We did it!!! We had an All Chapter Metro wide meeting at Capitol Hill, for the first time since covid.

It was a wonderful feeling being face to face again. One speakers bureau member attending felt the "warm welcome and super community."

Together, Our Whole is Greater Than the Sum of Our Parts!

MICAH certainly brought the truth of that saying forward when we held our MICAH Metrowide Policy Breakfast on March 21st!

With over 60 people in the room and 40 online, we built and rebuilt connections to increase our power to achieve housing justice!
