In 2024, Our Homes, Our Votes launched the Pilot Communities initiative to strengthen engagement with low-income renters throughout the electoral process, foster partnerships with subsidized housing providers, and assess the impact of nonpartisan voter engagement.

The National Housing Trust Fund: A Summary of 2020 State Projects report is part of NLIHC’s effort to document the impact of the national Housing Trust Fund (HTF), the report summarizes how each state and the District of Columbia planned to use $323 million allocated in 2020 by the HTF. 

In 2019 – the fourth year of HTF implementation – states continued to use most of their HTF resources (74%) to target projects that served people experiencing homelessness, people with disabilities, elderly people, or other special needs populations. 

NLIHC released today a new report, State & Local Housing Trust Fund. The report summarizes findings from a national survey of state and local housing trust funds distributed to administrators in February and March of 2025.  

Additionally, NLIHC has curated a virtual hub for best practices and key elements of housing trust funds. 
 

NLIHC’s nonpartisan Our Homes, Our Votes campaign released today the latest edition of its biennial ballot measures report. The new report, Housing and Homelessness on the Ballot: November 2024, summarizes nearly 100 state and local ballot measures addressing affordable housing and homelessness that were voted upon in the November 2024 elections.
