March 10 Day of Action:

Protect HUD

Protect Affordable Homes!

Dear Colleagues:

Please take a moment to read the message below from National Low-Income Housing Coalition.

On Monday, March 10, organizations and people all over the country are taking action to protect HUD and the affordable homes it makes possible. Join us! 

What’s happening:

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)’s approximately 8,300 employees are responsible for managing affordable housing programs that serve millions of people nationwide, including children, veterans, seniors and persons with disabilities. The administration has asked HUD to cut its workforce by about half, with deep cuts in field offices nationwide and threatened reductions to programs and funding.

Staff and funding cuts to an already under-resourced HUD will reduce government efficiency, increase housing instability and homelessness (especially for low-income families and individuals), and worsen an already historic national affordable housing crisis.

Take Action:

Join us on March 10, when organizations and people nationwide will take action to protect affordable housing!

Here's what you can do:



1. Call your senators and representatives. Ask them to stop harmful cuts to HUD staff and funding! Large and thoughtless cuts will damage communities and worsen our national affordable housing crisis. 
2. Ask your local organizations to sign onto a letter opposing cuts to HUD staff and funding: Join more than 500 groups nationwide: https://nlihc.quorum.us/campaign/111236/
3. Host a local event! Hold a press conference with your local officials, partners and stakeholders, post about the call-in event on your social media channels, and more.

Sincerely,

CCEH Team
