Introducing NLIHC's Newest Advocacy Tool, "Voices Heard" – Amplify Your Voice Today!

May 09, 2025

Voices Heard is a new tool from the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC). The platform gives advocates the power to speak directly to the people who shape housing policy, our elected officials. Homelessness and housing instability impacts millions of people across the country, and NLIHC is committed to connecting those voices with policymakers to advocate for real change. Advancing housing justice means that legislative decisions reflect the people they represent.

Now more than ever, your voice can make an impact.

  • What does my community struggle with because it doesn’t have enough affordable housing?
