Delaware State Senate Backs United for Homes Campaign

The Delaware State Senate passed a resolution in support of the United for Homes campaign on June 20. Passed with no opposition, Resolution No. 9 highlights the overwhelming need for more affordable rental housing in Delaware and the importance of mortgage interest deduction reform. The Delaware Housing Coalition, an NLIHC State Coalition Partner, continues its efforts to secure passage of a similar resolution in Delaware’s House of Representatives prior to the end of the Delaware legislative session. Elected officials at the state and local level are key allies in communicating the need for an expanded federal commitment to housing issues. Advocates are urged to seek similar support from their state and local elected officials.View Resolution 9 here: http://1.usa.gov/1avdpaaDownload the endorsement form for elected officials at: http://bit.ly/Z5FONH View the model resolution that advocates can use: http://bit.ly/15HKVWP
