Policy makers should ensure that families across the country maintain their homes through the crisis by reflecting these core principles.
We are thrilled that this week, legislators introduced The Save Affordable Housing Act, a crucial piece of legislation needed to preserve irreplaceable affordable rental housing serving low-income families. Over the past two years, NHT has led the effort to build congressional understanding and support for this critical legislation.
The third annual Housing Week of Action highlighted critical connections between housing and access to opportunity, education, healthcare, jobs, and supportive services. NHT’s email series: More Than A Home, explored these connections using personal stories of residents from the Where Will We Live campaign.
Last month, Where Will We Live (WWWL) collaborated with the National Low Income Housing Coalition’s Opportunity Starts at Home (OSAH) campaign to launch a podcast featuring resident stories from across the country that were captured as part of WWWL.
In marking Washington D.C.’s June Housing Bloom, we are celebrating the work of the National Housing Trust in preserving affordable housing in the District of Columbia across 15 properties and more than 800 affordable homes.
Last month, NHT Ingenuity Power, a partnership between the National Housing Trust and Urban Ingenuity, held a ribbon-cutting celebration with the D.C. Department of Energy & Environment (DOEE) Director Tommy Wells to celebrate the completion of a 1.3 megawatt scattered site solar project.
