2017 ANNUAL REPORT n NATIONAL LOW INCOME HOUSING COALITION
important national advocacy coalitions like the Campaign for Housing
and Community
Development, the
national Housing Trust
Fund (HTF) Policy
Committee, and the
Housing and Criminal
Justice Reform Task
Force and to support
the work of NLIHC’s
62 state partners
around the country
We and our allies worked vigorously — and ultimately successfully — to thwart
the administration’s efforts to slash federal affordable housing programs and eliminate the HTF in FY17 and FY18 We also advocated forcefully to rebalance federal housing investments in tax reform While Congress ultimately passed extremely regressive tax cuts without
our proposed reforms, NLIHC and other
advocates succeeded in preserving the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program
This past year proved once again the
power of NLIHC’s phenomenally dedicated partners, members, and donors Together, we can achieve socially just public policies that ensure the lowest
income people in the U S have decent, affordable homes Together, we can end homelessness and housing poverty in America
Onward,
