The call will feature an update on federal funding for homelessness assistance programs from CEO of the National Alliance to End Homelessness Ann Oliva, and an update on the fallout since last year’s Supreme Court ruling, Grants Pass v. Johnson, from Executive Director of the National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH) Donald Whitehead. We will also discuss how communities around the country are taking action to oppose efforts to decimate HUD and its vital programs, share the latest updates from Capitol Hill, and more.
NCH is hosting Housing Now on April 22, a national day of action to oppose efforts to criminalize homelessness and destroy vital federal housing programs, and to call on federal leaders to invest in housing and healthcare for all. Learn more about the event, RSVP for the DC rally, or register your own local event at NCH’s website.
