Our Homes, Our Votes is a nonpartisan campaign to register, educate, and mobilize low-income renters and affordable housing advocates to vote. Renters, especially low-income renters, are underrepresented among voters. To build the political will for housing solutions, it is critical that organizations that work directly with low-income renters—including nonprofits, housing providers, and tenant associations—mobilize renters and other low-income people to vote.
Through this campaign, marginalized communities are able to access an array of targeted resources such as a voter and candidate engagement toolkit, voter registration information, ways to get involved with other housing justice advocates in your area, and much more!
Affordable homes are built with ballots every bit as much as they are built with bricks and drywall.
