Call to Action: Protect Florida's Affordable Housing!
As the Florida Legislature heads into budget conference, the House has proposed sweeping $150 million in recurring funding from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund—undoing critical reforms made just two years ago. This move would make affordable housing programs subject to uncertain, nonrecurring funding year after year.
The Senate has stood firm in preserving the Trust Fund. Now we need your voice to ensure they continue to do so.
Contact your Senators today and urge them to hold the Senate position and protect the Affordable Housing Trust Fund during budget conference. Florida’s families and future depend on it.
CONTACT: Find your legislator and form of contact here
