NHT Updates
NHT’s Federal Policy Director, Ellen Lurie Hoffman, provided incredibly compelling testimony on Capitol Hill to the T-HUD House Subcommittee earlier this month, outlining the importance of affordable housing across the nation.
The outcome of the election will determine not just which party will have the majority in Congress for the next couple of years, but which policies will be prioritized, how goals will be defined, and who will assume or maintain leadership positions.
NHT organized a Leadership Workshop as a training focusing on knowledge and resource sharing around affordable housing issues in Washington, D.C., with the goal of fostering community engagement and empowering residents.
As we near election day on November 6 (exactly two weeks away!), NHT is in the midst of our final Get out the Vote (GOTV) push to residents.
It is critically important that everyone who works to provide access to or protect resources for affordable housing takes time to comment to HUD on the ANPR, to prevent a lapse in fair housing protections or a retreat to subjective decisions about the use of federal resources.
Congratulations to NHT’s very own Annika Brink for being awarded Midwest Energy News’ 40 under 40 for 2018!
