Today, the CHC is organized as a Congressional Member Organization, governed under the Rules of the U.S. House of Representatives.
The CHC actively addresses national issues that impact the Hispanic community and serves as a forum for Hispanic Members of Congress to coalesce around a collective legislative agenda. The CHC is dedicated to voicing and advancing, through the legislative process, policies affecting Hispanics in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the US Territories.
