It's that time of year again! August of Advocacy!
The first week of August Advocacy begins today! Infrastructure is a top priority for the 117th Congress. We need to convince Congress that “Housing Is Infrastructure” so that they include funding for housing programs in the infrastructure package. For example, we are asking them to include $70 billion to address the decades-long underfunding of the Public Housing Capital Fund.
 
As Congress negotiates the final package, NAHRO advocates must take the opportunity to ensure housing and community development programs receive an historic investment. Visit NAHRO’s Action Alert Center to send an advocacy letter to your legislators and the White House every single day.

Want to learn more? Join NAHRO’s Tess Hembree and Georgi Banna TODAY for an Instagram Live on “Housing Is Infrastructure” Tune in for an update on the infrastructure package and this week’s goals for August Advocacy. We need YOU to urge Congress to make an historic investment in housing and community development programs. Follow NAHRO’s Instagram account @NAHROnational. They’ll go live at 2:05 p.m. EST.
2021 is an election year for national NAHRO! Please see the instructions below to prepare for that voting process.
