The Opportunity Starts at Home multi-sector affordable homes campaign recently released a new multi-sector fact sheet on its website explaining the connections between LGBTQ equity and stable, affordable housing. Research is increasingly clear that stable, affordable, and accessible housing is a critical driver of positive outcomes in many areas of life, but such housing is much less assured for the LGBTQ community.
There are now 13 multi-sector fact sheets on the campaign’s website. Each fact sheet compiles landmark research to help policymakers, opinion leaders, and the public understand the deep connections between housing and many other national priorities, from healthcare to education to economic growth. Housing advocates are encouraged to download these fact sheets to help them reach out to potential allies in other fields to make the case for cross-sector collaboration. To broaden the movement for affordable homes, we must ensure that allies in other sectors fully appreciate the extent to which housing influences their own priorities and goals.
