NLIHC Announces ‘Tenant Talk Live’: Calls/Webinars with and for Resident Leaders

As NLIHC seeks to defend federal affordable housing programs and work for their expansion, the voices of public housing residents, residents in other federally-subsidized housing, and voucher holders are critically important.

We are pleased to announce the launch of Tenant Talk Live—a bimonthly call/webinar with resident leaders from across the country.  Through these calls/webinars every other month NLIHC will provide opportunities for residents to connect with NLIHC and one another; to share best practices; and to learn how to be more involved in influencing federal housing policies and to lead in your community.

The first Tenant Talk Live call/webinar is scheduled for Monday, October 28, at 6:00 p.m. ET (5:00 p.m. CT/4:00 p.m. MT/ 3:00 p.m. PT).

During the first session NLIHC staff will provide updates on the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act (HOTMA) and Our Homes, Our Votes: 2020—an NLIHC-led non-partisan project to engage candidates on affordable housing and to register, educate, and mobilize more renters and affordable housing advocates to be involved in voting. Much of the call will be dedicated to peer-sharing. Our featured presenter is J.R. Fleming, executive director, Chicago Anti-Eviction Campaign.

NLIHC is committed to connecting and engaging with resident leaders in new, more robust ways. Please email us at [email protected] if you have a topic you would like to propose for peer-sharing or if you want to be a speaker on an upcoming call/webinar.

Together we can end housing poverty and homelessness in America once and for all.
