America’s affordable housing crisis has become a major 2020 campaign issue and is being addressed by presidential candidates in an unprecedented way. 
They are talking about the crisis and their proposals to address it at their launch events, on campaign stops, and on nationally televised town halls. NLIHC has compiled a short video of these presidential candidates addressing affordable housing. As NLIHC president and CEO Diane Yentel said in her remarks to forum attendees (see article in this issue of Memo), this moment is a defining, once-in-a-generation inflection point for the affordable housing movement.
Advocates must continue to urge all presidential candidates to use their national platform to elevate bold solutions the nation’s dire shortage of affordable homes. Not all candidates have addressed the issue - yet. NLIHC and our partners will continue to call on every candidate to speak up about the need for affordable housing for those with the lowest income – seniors, people with disabilities, families with children, veterans, and those experiencing homelessness – and solutions
