During this week’s Tenant Talk Live attendees heard from NLIHC’s Kayla Laywell and Kim Johnson about the upcoming Request for Information (RFI) from the Federal Housing Finance Agency. More information about the RFI will be available in the upcoming weeks once it is published in the Federal Register. In addition, NLIHC will be hosting a comment party on June 12th at 6pm ET to help people with their comments. You can register for that call here. NLIHC staff were also joined by Gina Wilt, advocacy director at the Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio (COHHIO). Gina shared her expertise in advocacy to demonstrate why your voice matters, especially now that the lives of people experiencing homelessness and housing instability are at high risk. To view the full webinar, you can view it here.
The next webinar will take place on May 15, 2023, at 6pm ET (3pm PT). You can register for the session here. As always, if you have a topic you would like to propose or want to be a speaker in an upcoming webinar, please e-mail Sid Betancourt at [email protected].
