Join us this evening (February 7) for Tenant Talk Live, a webinar featuring – and for – renters and resident leaders. Kicking off at 6 pm ET, the listening session will focus on two pieces of proposed legislation impacting public housing residents: the “Pets Belong with Families Act” and the “Electric Vehicles (EV) Car Sharing Act.” Register for the webinar at: https://bit.ly/361rmy2
NLIHC hopes to learn from renters about their perspectives on these two pieces of legislation that would impact public housing residents. The Pets Belong with Families Act, sponsored by Representatives Adam Schiff (D-CA), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Lauren Underwood (D-IL), and Cori Bush (D-MO), would increase access to public housing by restricting the use of overly broad, breed-specific bans on pets.

The Electric Vehicles (EV) Car Sharing Act would require HUD and the U.S. Department of Energy to establish a program providing up to $1 million in grants to public housing agencies, local governments, and non-profits for supporting electric vehicle (EV) car sharing services in public housing complexes. The legislation is being led by Representative Nanette Diaz Barragan (D-CA). The bill has not yet been introduced, but NLIHC policy analyst Kim Johnson will provide insights about the proposal.
Tenant Talk Live would not be possible without tenants like you! We at NLIHC continue to strive to improve our connections and engagement with tenants and tenant leaders.
