NLIHC and other leaders of the Campaign for Housing and Community Development Funding (CHCDF) invite you to join a webinar on Tuesday, February 18 at 3:30 p.m. ET to learn about how the president’s fiscal year (FY) 2021 budget request would harm low-income people and their communities and how advocates can help ensure robust funding for affordable housing and community development programs.
The president’s FY21 budget request proposes to drastically cut housing benefits that help millions of low-income seniors, people with disabilities, families with children, and other individuals afford their homes. If enacted, this budget would leave even more low-income people without affordable, accessible homes. For more details, see NLIHC’s analysis and budget chart.
Webinar panelists will provide an overview of the budget proposal and share tips for effectively communicating with policymakers and the public about the need for increased federal investments in proven affordable housing and community development programs.
Speakers include:
- Sonya Acosta, NLIHC
- Seth Embry, Public Housing Authorities Directors Association
- Leslie Strauss, Housing Assistance Council
- Moha Thakur, National Housing Trust
- Vicki Watson, National Community Development Association
