NLIHC hosted a national HoUSed campaign call on October 23. We shared the latest updates on fiscal year (FY) 2024 appropriations and potential action in the U.S. Senate on an FY24 HUD spending bill. Sonya Acosta from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) presented an analysis of housing voucher renewal costs. NLIHC’s Sarah Abdelhadi provided an overview of updates that were recently made to the Rental Housing Programs Database and discussed an accompanying report. We also received field updates from Jessica Bellamy of the Louisville Tenants Union and Dr. Erin Feichtinger from the Omaha Women’s Fund. A recording of the call, as well as the presentation slides, are now available.
