NLIHC is accepting applications to join our new initiative Generation Housing Justice! Twenty young housing advocates ages 18 to 24 will be selected to participate in the first cohort, which kicks off in January 2025 and runs through May 2025. Participants will gain the knowledge and resources needed to successfully advocate for federal affordable housing solutions and to organize effectively in their own communities. Apply to Generation Housing Justice here!
Generation Housing Justice fellows will receive a $1,000 stipend after successfully completing the program and travel support to attend NLIHC’s Housing Policy Forum and Capitol Hill Day in Washington, D.C. The program will include monthly virtual meetings, attendance at NLIHC’s Housing Policy Forum and Capitol Hill Day in March 2025, and a final project that contributes to NLIHC’s mission. Projects may include but are not limited to writing and publishing an op-ed, starting a campus or community housing advocacy group focused on NLIHC’s priorities, or planning and facilitating a discussion with elected officials.
Applications will be accepted until November 1 at 5 pm ET, and fellows will be notified of a decision by December 2. People with lived experience of housing instability or homelessness are encouraged to apply.
