NLIHC is preparing for the release of the next issue of Tenant Talk in late September! Published twice a year, Tenant Talk is a newsletter that aims to engage tenants in housing advocacy and to highlight innovative approaches and recent victories in communities throughout the U.S. The upcoming issue, Navigating Funding Cuts: Empowering Tenants to Shape Policy, will include articles explaining the budget process and calls to action for tenant advocates. Sign up for a copy of the upcoming issue of Tenant Talk here!
This issue will educate readers on the budget process, detailing what is at risk if proposed budget cuts are made to housing programs and other related programs. As Congress prepares to review the 2026 budget, this edition asks readers to engage their lawmakers in a conversation about the long-term and large-scale investments in affordable housing and homelessness programs. This publication will include two articles written by tenants who would be directly impacted by harmful cuts to housing programs. NLIHC’s policy and research teams also provide an update on their work, including other happenings on Capitol Hill, federal advocacy, and ongoing research.
A digital version of the latest Tenant Talk will be made available on the date of release to all NLIHC members and partners, as well as the general public, for reading or downloading. Digital copies will be available in Spanish soon.
