NLIHC will host the next session of “Tenant Talk Live” – a webinar with and for tenant and resident leaders – on Monday, May 15, at 6 pm ET. During the webinar, NLIHC staff will join the call to discuss a Request for Input (RFI) on multifamily tenant protections that will soon be issued by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). Gina Wilt, advocacy director at the Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio (COHHIO), will also join the webinar to discuss her experience advocating for tenant protection legislation.

Want to learn how to become more involved with NLIHC? Check out these opportunities:
- NLIHC is currently recruiting members for the 2023-2024 Tenant Leader Cohort. The Cohort is a group of tenant advocates and community leaders with lived experience of housing insecurity who work towards housing justice and racial equity in their neighborhoods and greater communities. Cohort members help inform NLIHC’s policy priorities so they best reflect the needs of low-income renters. If you’re interested in joining next year’s Cohort, please fill out this interest form. Selections for the cohort will be made on an ongoing basis through early summer 2023.
- NLIHC is also asking advocates to submit your original artwork for a chance to be featured on the cover of this summer’s edition of Tenant Talk! Entries should address the theme of the upcoming edition: the role of LGBTQ+ issues in housing and homelessness. The deadline for submissions is Friday, May 26, and participants must be 18 or older. The winning submission will be featured on the cover of the forthcoming edition of Tenant Talk, and its creator will be awarded $250. Submissions can be made here. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.
- Tenant Talk Live would not be possible without tenants like you! We strive to connect and engage with tenants and tenant leaders through our webinars. If you are a low-income tenant and have a topic you would like to propose for an upcoming Tenant Talk Live, or if you would like to participate as a speaker on an upcoming call or webinar, please email: [email protected].
