NLIHC has released the summer 2022 issue of Tenant Talk, our semi-annual newsletter created to engage tenants in housing advocacy and to highlight innovative approaches and recent victories in communities throughout the United States. The new issue focuses on nonpartisan election engagement and the important role renters and affordable housing advocates can play. Tenant Talk: Housing Is Built with Ballots can be downloaded by NLIHC members and partners – as well as members of the general public – from our website for free. Digital copies in Spanish will also be available soon.
Low-income renters face the greatest barriers to voting and as a result are underrepresented among voters. NLIHC’s nonpartisan Our Homes, Our Votes campaign aims to address this disparity by mobilizing low-income renters and affordable housing advocates to participate in the voting process to ensure low-income housing interests are addressed by candidates and elected officials. This issue of Tenant Talk presents practical tips for mobilizing renters to vote and engaging candidates, as well as important state deadlines to be aware of as elections approach. Perspectives from renters and people experiencing homelessness, updates from partners of the Our Homes, Our Votes campaign, and news from NLIHC are also included.
