HFA National Advisory Committee Application

HFA is recruiting new members for the National Advisory Committee!

Applications for the National Advisory Committee will be accepted from October 27, 2025 through November 19, 2025.

The National Advisory Committee is a group of leaders from across the HFA Network who advise the HFA National Team on development, implementation and evaluation of the HFA Model.  They provide state and local perspectives and recommendations that advance HFA through partnership and advocacy.

We are looking for applicants from HFA sites, as site-level staff can be underrepresented on national office committees.  And in particular, we are looking for folks from rural sites, sites serving indigenous and other marginalized communities, applicants who are representative of HFA families, including applicants who may be former HFA parents themselves!

Learn more about the National Advisory Committee below and after October 27th, scroll down to find the application.
