Earlier this month, ACT’s Housing Director, Sosseh Prom, joined the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) Policy Forum as a panelist to speak on housing justice for immigrant communities. She shared the experiences of ACT members in New York City and Alexandria, VA, highlighting the real barriers immigrants face when trying to access safe, stable housing. Her remarks also focused on what meaningful solidarity looks like in practice, and how advocates can build stronger, more accountable relationships with immigrant communities. Housing justice cannot be achieved without centering the voices of those most impacted. Conversations like these are critical to moving that work forward.

"What the 21st Century Road to Housing Act would be, if enacted, is the single largest housing bill in a generation in terms of advancing housing supply. At National Low Income Housing Coalition we are really excited about this moment but also cognizant that the reason we are in this moment where everyone is talking about housing is because so many people are struggling." It seems that the national conversation around housing, from supply to affordability, preservation and habitability, is finally (maybe) catching up to the mission that the National Low Income Housing Coalition has been advancing since its founding in 1974. The 21st Century Road to Housing Act is proof that members of Congress have constituents who are making their realities and needs knows to those who represent them. And that the Coalition and its many nonprofit affordable housing partners have the data, stories and leadership capacities needed to ensure housing equity in America. In this episode of Power Station Podcast I talk to Renee Williams, Senior Advisor for Public Policy at the Coalition about its endorsement of the bill and its most promising components, think Rural Housing, Housing Vouchers and Disaster Recovery. We also talk about concerns, including the potential of deregulation as a housing supply strategy to derail affordability and spur displacement. I promise there is so much here to learn from and be inspired by. Listen, share, repost! https://apple.co/4m9XyWn

Housing Help Inc. Advocating for Housing Solutions in Washington, D.C. Housing Help Inc. was proud to participate this week in the Housing Policy Forum hosted by the National Low Income Housing Coalition in Washington, D.C. As a proud member of NLIHC, we appreciate the coalition’s leadership in bringing together housing advocates, policymakers, researchers, and community organizations from across the country to address our nation’s housing shortage. During Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill, Housing Help Inc.’s Executive Director, Pilar Moya-Mancera, joined advocates from across the country to meet with members of the New York congressional delegation. Meetings included the offices of Kirsten Gillibrand, Chuck Schumer, and the office of Congressman Lawler Nick to discuss the urgent need for policies that expand housing opportunities for working families, seniors, and communities facing severe housing shortages. Here on Long Island, the housing crisis continues to impact families, young professionals, essential workers, and seniors who want to remain in the communities they call home. Increasing housing supply must be part of the solution. Housing Help Inc. continues to advocate for thoughtful housing policies—including responsible solutions such as Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)—that can help seniors age in place, support multigenerational families, and create more attainable housing opportunities while strengthening our neighborhoods. We are proud to stand alongside advocates from across New York and the nation to ensure that housing remains a national priority. Thank you to the National Low Income Housing Coalition for organizing another impactful week of collaboration, advocacy, and leadership. #HousingPolicy #AffordableHousing #HousingAdvocacy #LongIsland #ADUs #HousingSolutions 📸 Photos from the Housing Policy Forum and Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill.

CHAPA’s Senior Policy Associate, Jordan Stocker, joined advocates from Massachusetts and across the country in Washington, D.C. for the National Low Income Housing Coalition's Housing Policy Forum last week! On Friday’s Capitol Hill Day, CHAPA helped bring the Commonwealth's group together to meet with Massachusetts congressional staff and advocate for strong federal housing investments, including rental assistance, homelessness programs, and policies that expand access to affordable housing. We held eight meetings with Massachusetts congressional staff and raised the challenges communities continue to face in the current federal landscape. We also discussed the need for federal solutions to help ensure everyone in our communities has access to affordable housing that meets their needs. CHAPA is grateful to the offices that took the time to meet and hear these concerns. Thank you to the National Low Income Housing Coalition for the time, care, and coordination that went into bringing advocates together from across the country and making space for these important housing conversations!

Last week, our Senior VP of Community Engagement, Nicole Bahena, attended the National Low Income Housing Coalition Housing Policy Forum. This conference connected like-minded leaders across the country who are deeply invested in developing solutions for affordable housing and homelessness. The sessions and conversations reinforced the urgency of the moment and the importance of rethinking the systems that shape housing access and offering methods of support that allow for sustainability.
Yesterday, #Forum26 Day 2 ended with our first breakout sessions. Today, we'll be starting with Zillow's plenary session, "Technology and Tenant Protections: Tools to Expand Access, Stability, and Equity," before proceeding with the rest of our breakout sessions. In the evening, the closing plenary will feature speakers, Brian Goldstone, Kennetha Patterson, and Rob Robinson before ending the day with honoring and celebrating individual leaders and organizations at the Leadership Awards Reception!
