Join October 30 Training Institute for Tenants & Residents Webinar – Civic Engagement 101

NLIHC invites you to join the next session in the Training Institute for Tenants & Residents (TITR) series. The upcoming webinar — “Civic Engagement 101” — will take place on Thursday, October 30, at 4:00 pm ET.  

The TITR is a national program dedicated to providing renters and community leaders with the tools they need to advocate for safe, stable, and affordable housing. 

The “Civic Engagement 101” webinar will discuss ways to amplify your voice and explore how tenants can influence elections, increase voter turnout, and build long‑term civic strength. Whether through registering voters, engaging local officials, or organizing neighbors, this workshop gives you concrete tools for making housing justice a central issue in every election. Register for this webinar here.  

Additional Webinars 

Advocacy 101 — Thursday, November 13, at 4:00 pm ET 

• Change doesn’t happen by chance — it happens through advocacy. This webinar will guide participants through policy advocacy fundamentals, from meeting with elected officials to building coalitions. Learn how to turn your story into action and shape housing stability policy. 

Policy 101 — Thursday, January 29, at 4:00 pm ET 

• Curious how housing policy is made — and how you can influence it? This session breaks down local, state, and federal policymaking. Participants will learn how to track bills, understand system levers, and insert tenant voices into decisions that affect rent, neighborhoods, and access. 

Equity, Race & Culture 101 — Thursday, February 26, at 4:00 pm ET 

• Housing injustice isn’t just about policy — it’s about people. This session investigates how race, culture, and identity shape access, displacement, and power. We will examine historical and structural inequities (from redlining to gentrification), center impacted voices and build tools for advancing housing justice rooted in equity and dignity.
