The Our Homes, Our Votes: 2024 webinar series provides resources, guidance, and inspiration for organizations and individuals seeking to launch or strengthen their own nonpartisan voter and candidate engagement initiatives. The next webinar in the series, “Housing Providers and Voter Engagement,” will take place on Monday, July 29, at 2:30 pm ET.
Affordable housing providers – including public housing agencies (PHAs) and HUD-subsidized providers – are in a strong position to register, educate, and mobilize their residents to vote. This webinar will discuss creative strategies that housing providers and advocates, in partnership with tenant leaders, are employing to promote civic engagement and get out the vote in their communities. The panel will feature Bernadine Martin, director of resident services at Eden Housing; Cydni Polk Blocker, senior director of community life for Chicago and the Mid-Atlantic region at The Community Builders; and staff from the Housing Network of Rhode Island.
The webinar dates and topics are listed below. All webinars will be held from 2:30 to 3:30 pm ET. For full descriptions of each session and archives of past webinars, visit: www.ourhomes-ourvotes.org/webinars-2024
