The Opportunity Starts at Home multi-sector affordable housing campaign hosted its first webinar titled “Broadening the Housing Movement: Learn more about the Opportunity Starts at Home Campaign” on August 16. The webinar provides information on the campaign’s progress to-date in building a broad coalition of leaders in education, healthcare, civil rights, antipoverty, faith-based, and other sectors to advocate for affordable homes; the campaign’s Steering Committee; short- and long-term plans; policy advocacy goals; ways to engage with the campaign; and more. Watch a recording of the session here.
The webinar features Dan Hawkins, senior vice president of the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), who discusses why NACHC joined the campaign Steering Committee and the growing evidence that good housing is good health. Greg Payne, director of the Maine Affordable Housing Coalition and chair of the NLIHC board of directors, shares how the national campaign is supporting Maine’s multi-sector campaign called Maine Together. The webinar also features NLIHC President and CEO Diane Yentel, Campaign Director Mike Koprowski, and Campaign Coordinator Chantelle Wilkinson.
