NLIHC hosted a national HoUSed campaign call on December 18. Kim Johnson provided updates on fiscal year (FY) 2024 appropriations and efforts to reform the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC). Sonya Acosta of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) shared CBPP’s latest analysis of new data from HUD showing that Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) reductions under House and Senate FY24 proposals would be deeper than previously estimated. Ryan Finnigan from the University of California, Berkeley’s Terner Center for Housing Innovation discussed a new research series on homelessness in California, and Dr. Mary Pattillo of Northwestern University shared a new report on intergenerational poverty. We also received updates from Gina Wilt of the Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio and Monique Blossom of the Louisiana Fair Housing Action Center.
A recording of the call, as well as the presentation slides, are now available.
