As the December 20 deadline for finalizing the FY25 federal spending bill approaches, it’s crucial to advocate for increased funding for affordable housing and homelessness resources. These programs are vital for supporting low-income families, individuals facing homelessness, and communities across the country in need of stable, affordable housing solutions.
Why This Matters: Affordable housing shortages and rising homelessness continue to be major issues in both urban and rural areas. The FY25 spending bill presents an opportunity to secure essential funding for critical housing programs that:
- Expand affordable housing options for families and individuals.
- Increase resources for homelessness prevention, shelter services, and long-term housing solutions.
- Strengthen support for communities struggling to meet the growing demand for housing assistance.
Without this increased investment, millions of Americans will remain at risk of losing their homes or facing long-term homelessness.
How You Can Help:
- Contact Your Representatives: Urge them to include expanded funding for affordable housing and homelessness programs in the final FY25 spending bill.
- Share Your Story: Let your representatives know how access to housing programs impacts you, your community, or someone you know.
- Spread the Word: Use social media and community networks to raise awareness of the urgent need for this funding before the December 20 deadline.
