Join today’s (June 20) national HoUSed campaign call from 2:30 to 4:00 pm ET. We will discuss the federal appropriations process, and a dangerous proposal from House Republicans to slash HUD funding in the fiscal year (FY) 2024 budget. NLIHC’s senior vice president of research, Andrew Aurand, will share key findings from the newly released Out of Reach 2023: The High Cost of Housing report and federal policy solutions needed to address the affordable housing crisis. Gina Plata-Nino with the Food Research & Action Center (FRAC) will discuss the impact on people experiencing homelessness of increased, burdensome work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). We will also receive field updates, share the latest updates from Capitol Hill, and discuss advocacy needed to ensure the highest level of funding for housing and homelessness programs.
