Recap of NLIHC’s 11/21 National HoUSed Campaign Call

NLIHC hosted a national HoUSed campaign call on November 21. Bhavya Mohan of the U.S. General Services Association (GSA) joined the call to discuss a study concerning equity in emergency rental assistance (ERA) distribution. Micaela Connery of The Kelsey and Susan Popkin of the Urban Institute shared an assessment regarding national housing needs for people with disabilities. We also heard from NLIHC’s End Rental Arrears to Stop Evictions (ERASE) project team about its new blueprint for a permanent emergency rental assistance program, received updates from the field, and more. A recording of the call as well as presentation slides are now available.
