A large-print edition of NLIHC’s Tenant Talk: The Intersection of Housing and Disability Rights is now available. The semi-annual newsletter aims to engage residents in housing advocacy and to highlight innovative approaches and recent housing victories in communities throughout the United States. This issue focuses on housing affordability and disability justice, with articles exploring how resident leaders and resident organizations can take action to achieve accessible housing.
Disability justice should be included in any type of advocacy, but especially when fighting to expand affordable housing options for the lowest-income renters. Readers will learn more about Olmstead v. L.C., a historic Supreme Court decision that established the illegality of segregating people with disabilities. This issue also informs readers about universal design, Medicaid-funded home- and community-based services, and the “Money Follows the Person” program.
This issue of Tenant Talk features articles on resident organizing such as National ADAPT's “Lives Worth Life” social media campaign and how Maryland passed right to counsel for renters facing eviction. Additional articles cover the expiration of the federal eviction moratorium, the upcoming infrastructure spending package, and much more!
