Joshua Stewart Email & Phone Number

Joshua Stewart works as Director of Federal Policy & Advocacy at Fahe to help the Membership have their voices heard in Washington, D.C., as we all act together to build prosperity throughout Appalachia. He has more than ten years of experience analyzing and changing federal policy to ensure that our national response to poverty, housing issues, homelessness, and community/economic development works in all places, for all people. Joshua joined Fahe in 2019, and prior to that was with the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV) from 2013 to 2019. His portfolio there included congressional and governmental relations, policy development, and advocacy-focused communications. The common theme of his career has been the drive to educate: to inform Congress and other policy-makers of the reality of the situation in the field, to insert experts from community into national policy discussions, and to highlight for policy-makers that there are bipartisan solutions to seemingly intractable social problems. Prior to his time at NCHV, Joshua conducted historical research on social support structures, poverty, and homelessness in 19th and 20th century New England. Other of his published works focus on veteran’s issues, memorialization, and social theory more broadly. He received his M.A. in Historical Archaeology from the University of Massachusetts Boston in 2013, and his B.A. in Anthropology from Gettysburg College in 2011.
