Speak Up for Housing Choice Vouchers this August!


NAHRO’s 2024 August Advocacy campaign is off to a strong start! Last week, more than 1,200 advocates sent 13,751 letters to Congress and the White House in support of full funding for affordable housing and community development programs. For week 2 of the campaign, we turn our attention to fully funding and improving the Housing Choice Voucher program.


Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVs) are one of the most effective tools in the fight against instability, homelessness, and overcrowding. HCVs support approximately 2.3 million households and more than 5 million individuals. However, amidst the current housing supply crisis, affordable units are becoming increasingly difficult to find as the market tightens. Send a pre-drafted, editable letter from NAHRO’s Action Alert Center to urge Congress and the White House to fully fund the HCV program and to pass legislative language ensuring that vouchers remain an effective tool for millions of families.

Today begins August advocacy month! Please be sure to have everyone in your office log in and send a letter today! Then don't forget to come back each week and send the next letter! If you're unsure how to send a letter please watch the video below!
