The National Housing Trust launched the “Where Will We Live” campaign on July 9. The campaign is a national engagement effort by the National Housing Trust, Enterprise Community Partners, and People’s Action. Campaign staff travel to affordable housing communities to meet with residents, property managers, and service coordinators. The participants’ experiences are recorded so that their stories can be shared with policymakers and the general public to build understanding and support for affordable housing.
Staff connect and coordinate with local and national organizations to create a cross-sector network of affordable housing advocates. These advocates will work together to draft op-eds, refer residents to civic engagement opportunities in the area, and educate their communities about affordable housing and how it relates to other issues such as access to health care, job opportunities, education and training, and transportation.
