Recap of 5/13 National HoUSed Campaign Call

NLIHC hosted a national HoUSed campaign call on May 13. We were joined by senior HUD officials Richard Cho and Ethan Handelman for a discussion about HUD’s Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) for a new rule that would reduce barriers to HUD-assisted housing for people impacted by the criminal-legal system. Kim Johnson of NLIHC provided news about a tax bill and the fiscal year (FY) 2025 appropriations process. We also received field updates from Staci Berger of the Housing and Community Development Network of New Jersey. A recording of the call, as well as the presentation slides, are now available. The next national HoUSed campaign call will take place on June 10 from 2:30 to 3:30 pm ET.
