Founded in 1974 by Cushing N. Dolbeare, NLIHC educates, organizes and advocates to ensure decent, affordable housing for everyone. NLIHC is dedicated to bridging the gap between incomes and housing costs with rental assistance, expanding and preserving the supply of affordable rental homes, providing emergency rental assistance to stabilize families and prevent evictions, and strengthening and enforcing renter protections. This year, we're celebrating our 50-year anniversary by commemorating our organization’s history, achievements, and partners, while renewing our commitment to achieving housing justice!
