Oct 27, 2025

By Kayla Blackwell, NLIHC Senior Housing Policy Analyst 

Join tomorrow's (October 28) national HoUSed campaign call from 4 to 5 pm ET. The call will focus on how the federal government shutdown is impacting programs meant to assist survivors of domestic violence and keep people healthy, and how these impacts ultimately make it more difficult for people to pay their rent. NLIHC will share the latest from Capitol Hill and discuss how advocates can take action.

NLIHC’s Senior Vice President of Policy, David Gonzalez Rice, will moderate the call and provide policy updates. Elena Hampton-Stover, Director of Housing, and Olivia Brochu, Policy Specialist, both from the National Network to End Domestic Violence, will discuss the impacts of the government shutdown on survivors of domestic violence. Charlotte Bruce, Director of Policy, Children’s HealthWatch, will also join this call to discuss the impact of the government shutdown on healthcare. NLIHC’s Vice President for Field Strategy and Innovation, Ramina Davidson, will close the call by sharing opportunities to take action. Register here.
