Memo to Members

Join Today’s (October 14) National HoUSed Campaign Call, Featuring Updates on Homelessness Funding and Threats to Fair Housing Programs and Enforcement! 

Oct 14, 2025

By Kayla Blackwell, NLIHC Housing Policy Analyst 

Join today's (October 14) national HoUSed campaign call from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm ET. The call will focus on issues with the upcoming FY25 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Competition Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), threats to Fair Housing programs and enforcement, and the current government shutdown. Advocates will learn how they can engage their members of Congress on these issues.  

NLIHC’s Senior Vice President of Policy, David Gonzalez Rice, will moderate the call and provide policy updates. Steve Berg, chief policy officer with the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH), will discuss the upcoming CoC program and reporting that the NOFO will include sweeping changes that will quickly and irresponsibly upend homelessness response systems. We will also be joined by Paul Osadebe, steward with AFGE 476 and organizer with the Federal Unionist Network (FUN), to discuss the Trump Administration’s threats to civil rights and fair housing law, from the lack of enforcement to withdrawing grant funding and retaliation against fair housing attorneys. Finally, Ramina Davidson, NLIHC’s vice president for field strategy and innovation, will share opportunities to take action to defend fair and affordable housing. We will also highlight resources, provide the latest updates from Capitol Hill, and more. Register here.
