NLIHC invites all organizations, advocates, and supporters to attend a press event to protect vital HUD programs and staff, today, March 3 at 5 pm ET, at HUD headquarters (451 7th St SW, Washington, DC 20410).
House Financial Services Committee Ranking Member Maxine Waters (D-CA) and other congressional leaders will join the event and hand-deliver a letter to HUD Secretary Scott Turner, demanding answers about DOGE's efforts to terminate half of all HUD staff, freeze federal investments in affordable housing, community developments, homelessness, and more.
We ask that all attendees arrive promptly at 4:30pm ET.
To send a clear message that HUD staff, programs, and investments play a critical role in addressing our nation’s most pressing challenges, we urgently encourage advocates to:
Attend in person and bring as many staff, members, and partners as possible;
Make and bring signs showcasing your support for affordable housing and opposition to these devastating cuts; and
Amplify the message by mobilizing your networks to stand with us.
If you are unable to attend in person, please tune into a livestream of the event at: https://bit.ly/4bnyxBw
At a time when housing costs are far out of reach for renters and homelessness has reached an all-time high, federal investments in affordable housing and homelessness solutions are critically needed.
Join today's event to demand that DOGE halt their attempts to decimate HUD, undermine housing justice, and worsen America’s housing and homelessness crisis!
