Ask your Senators to support the National Housing Trust Fund!

According to the National Low-Income Housing Coalition's Outreach Association, Elisha Harig-Blaine, the House should be moving to fund the National Housing Trust Fund in the Defense Appropriations bill, HR 3326. However, there is uncertainity on what the Senate will do, so your assistance in contacting the Senators are needed.

Please contact Senator Feingold and Senator Kohl to ask them to support the inclusion of $1 billion for the National Housing Trust Fund, and $65 million for project-based vouchers in the Defense Appropriations Bill. If the Senators are supportive, please ask them to contact Senator Durbin to express their support of the inclusion of those funds.

NLIHC estimates that Wisconsin will receive $15.5 million, creating 234 construction jobs and 59 ongoing jobs.

You can call the Congressional switchboard at 877-210-5351 and ask for either Senator Feingold or Senator Kohl's offices. Then do it again for the other Senator.

This is one of the last steps in the long campaign over the many years to create & fund the National Housing Trust Fund. Let's work together to make sure it happens.
