In this month’s Tenant Talk Live webinar, participants described their experiences with housing justice advocacy in 2022 and discussed what they envisioned for housing justice in 2023. Attendees voiced concerns about rent increases, the status of LIHTC, and anti-tenant discrimination but also shared advocacy triumphs, which included winning increases in housing funds, enacting right-to-counsel laws, and mobilizing more tenants than ever across the country. Attendees all enthusiastically agreed that they want to push for more rental protections at all levels of government.
NLIHC looks forward to working with Tenant Talk Live participants over the coming year to encourage meaningful advocacy. The next webinar will be held on February 6, 2023, at 6 pm ET. Register for the session here. More information on the upcoming webinar will be available soon!
