Tenant Talk Live is a bimonthly call/webinar with resident leaders from across the country that provides opportunities for residents to connect with NLIHC and one another; to share best practices; and to learn how to be more involved in influencing federal housing policies and to lead in their community.
The inaugural call/webinar took place on October 28 and featured Willie “J.R.” Fleming, executive director, Chicago Anti-Eviction Campaign—a nonprofit dedicated to creating and preserving affordable housing and reducing blight. J.R shared insights into how residents can use Section 3 to provide construction jobs and job training opportunities to residents in their community. Ed Gramlich, NLIHC senior advisor, provided updates on the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act (HOTMA). Download a recording of the October 28 call/webinar at: http://bit.ly/2BZRaf9
