The Kansas Housing Advocacy Network (KHAN) is made up of organizations statewide: Continuums of Care on Homelessness (CoC), nonprofits, faith-based organizations, people with lived experience, local governments, and more. KHAN provides data, education, and evidence-based policy recommendations to increase housing security and end homelessness. KHAN is convened by UCS and KSHC.

In 2024, Kansas Statewide Homeless Coalition’s Lived Experience Advisory Board developed a survey for candidates running for state and federal office to voice their opinions on housing and homelessness needs.  That survey informed the legislative and policy work for the next two years.

Kansas Statewide Homeless Coalition chose to update the existing 2024 survey to reflect the landscape of the 2026 midterm elections.
