The new issue of Tenant Talk – a semi-annual newsletter created by NLIHC to engage renters and residents in housing advocacy – is now available online! Each issue of Tenant Talk features innovative approaches to housing advocacy and highlights recent victories in housing justice around the United States. The new winter issue, Tenant Talk: Emergency Rental Assistance at All Angles, focuses on Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) programs and explores how ERA has impacted tenants navigating the economic challenges of the pandemic. If you would like to have a print version of Tenant Talk mailed to you, you may sign up for that here: https://bit.ly/3K2r8ce
The new issue includes articles from partners across the country about efforts to increase access to ERA for tenants facing rental debt. As always, the publication offers tenants’ perspectives on their experiences – in this case, with ERA – as well as articles by NLIHC staff on tenant protections, updates on the “Build Back Better Act,” summaries of recent NLIHC research, and much more!
Tenant Talk is available to all NLIHC members and partners – as well as members of the general public – for downloading from (or reading on) NLIHC’s website. Those interested in receiving free print versions of Tenant Talk through the mail can make the request via a webform. Digital copies in Spanish and large print will also be available – stay tuned for more information!
