NLIHC hosted a national HoUSed campaign call on December 12. Chi Chi Wu with the National Consumer Law Center (NCLC) joined the call to discuss a brief on the risks of rent reporting. We also heard from NLIHC’s End Rental Arrears to Stop Evictions (ERASE) project team about its new report on lessons learned from high-spending ERA programs administered by Native American Tribes and Tribally Designated Housing Entities. We received updates from the field and heard the latest from Capitol Hill.
A recording of the call, as well as presentation slides, are now available.
