Let’s join the call to action from the National Low Income Housing Coalition (our supportive delegation still needs to hear our voices!):
Call your US senators and representatives TODAY and demand that any bipartisan infrastructure package be paired with a larger economic recovery package that includes the HoUSed campaign’s top housing priorities: an expansion of rental assistance for every eligible household; $70 billion to repair public housing; and at least $45 billion for the national Housing Trust Fund to build and preserve homes affordable to people with the lowest incomes.
This action is on the heels of the The White House announcement yesterday that it has reached an agreement with key senators on an infrastructure package that could pass with bipartisan support. The bipartisan deal does not include any investments to make housing affordable to America’s lowest-income and most marginalized households, despite calls for these investments by President Biden, HUD Secretary Fudge, and key members of Congress. Democratic congressional leaders insist that any bipartisan deal must be paired with a larger economic recovery package that would include housing investments.
Take Action
Advocates should contact their representatives and senators and urge them to include in any economic recovery package the HoUSed campaign’s top priorities: an expansion of rental assistance for every eligible household; $70 billion to repair public housing; and at least $40 billion for the national Housing Trust Fund to build and preserve homes affordable to people with the lowest incomes.
- Call your senators and representatives today to demand that any bipartisan infrastructure bill is paired with a larger economic recovery package that includes the HoUSed campaign’s top priorities! You can find your members of Congress here.
- Join nearly 1,000 organizations supporting these priorities by signing onto the national letter calling for the national HoUSed campaign’s solutions needed to end homelessness and housing poverty once and for all.
