Minnesota NAHRO Delivered For August Advocacy! Over the 6 week campaign:
- We sent over 4000 letters,
- 141 individuals took action,
- and we sent our message to every member of Congress.
In August and September, we raised our voices together and joined advocates from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The President and our members of Congress heard us ask them to fully fund HUD programs in 2025, to fund and improve housing vouchers, to support and preserve public housing, to invest in community development and the housing supply, and to address increases in homelessness. They listened. And together, we will make sure that they keep listening to us.
NAHRO nation, this amazing August Advocacy turnout is just the beginning. Over the next few months, your NAHRO staff and leaders will keep up the drumbeat at HUD and on Capitol Hill. We’ll use your letters, your stories, your successes to underscore the vital work you do in communities all across the country, and the resources and regulatory relief we need for that work. And next March, at our 2025 Washington Conference, we’ll engage with a new President and a new Congress, and demand that they give us the tools we need to help alleviate the nation’s affordable housing crisis.
While we still have a lot of work before us, we hope you’ll take some time to celebrate our shared achievements and get ready for the next steps.
