August Advocacy – Week 1

Week 1: Fully Fund HUD Programs in Fiscal Year 2025

Congress is currently working on its budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Urge your elected officials to pass an on-time budget that fully funds Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) affordable housing and community development programs!  

This letter is part of NAHRO’s August Advocacy Campaign – our annual letter-writing campaign to Congress and the White House in support of housing and community development programs. You do not have to be a NAHRO member to send a letter. Check back each week for a new advocacy letter.
