The application deadline for Our Homes, Our Votes’ (OHOV) first-ever mini-grant program has been extended to Friday, November 14, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
OHOV is NLIHC's nonpartisan campaign to boost voter turnout among low-income renters and elevate housing as a key election issue. The campaign equips housing advocates, tenant leaders, housing providers, and direct service organizations with tools and strategies to register, educate, and mobilize voters in their communities.
To strengthen the field’s voter engagement capacity, OHOV launched its first-ever mini-grant program, offering funding for innovative, nonpartisan voter engagement initiatives led by housing organizations, tenant groups, and community-based nonprofits. The program will support activities that empower low-income renters and people experiencing homelessness to participate in the democratic process. The application deadline has been extended to give more OHOV affiliates an opportunity to be awarded this grant of up to $1,500.
Who Can Apply?
To be eligible for the mini grant, an organization must be signed up as an OHOV affiliate.
