Sign onto a national letterurging Congress to provide robust funding for critical affordable housing programs in FY19. Over the last year, advocates throughout the country urged members of Congress not only to reject President Trump’s call to slash affordable housing investments but to provide much-needed increases in funding. As a result, advocates, resident leaders, and Congressional champions achieved a 10% increase in federal investments in HUD’s programs in FY18 - funding that will directly translate into more affordable homes for the lowest income people.
This achievement was an important step forward — but there is still much more to do. Let’s build on the momentum of this year’s funding victory to carry it into the next. President Trump continues to propose huge cuts to housing benefits that help struggling seniors, people with disabilities, families with children, and other populations keep roofs over their heads.
Take action to oppose President Trump’s proposal to cut housing benefits in FY19.
