BE COUNTED in the National Low Income Housing Coalition’s campaign for federal investment in housing!
Join more than 1,800 national, state, and local organizations by signing onto the HoUSed campaign’s national letter in support of historic investments in rental assistance, public housing, and the Housing Trust Fund in a reconciliation bill.
And
Your members of Congress need to hear from you about why investments in rental assistance, public housing, and the Housing Trust Fund are critical to your community and why they must remain in any budget reconciliation package. Breaking housing investments off into a separate bill is unacceptable.
Background:
The Build Back Better Act’s historic $150 billion investment in affordable housing continues to be at risk of being eliminated!
The bill passed by the House of Representatives in the fall includes funding for NLIHC’s top priorities, and, if enacted, would result in the largest single investment in quality, affordable, accessible homes for the country’s lowest-income people in history: $25 billion to expand rental assistance, $65 billion to preserve public housing and $15 billion for the national Housing Trust Fund.
We cannot let Congress neglect this opportunity!
Please contact your senators and representatives and urge them to ensure these housing resources remain in any budget reconciliation bill moving forward.
Please join the Western MA Network to End Homelessness and sign on to the national letter to be counted!
