#NLIHC is urging national, state, local, and Tribal organizations to join an organizational sign-on letter opposing a proposed U.S. Census Bureau rule change that threatens the accuracy and inclusivity of decennial census data. Accurate census data are essential to understanding communities’ needs and informing policies and resources that support low-income households and affordable housing. The letter focuses on the foreseeable negative impacts for housing policy if the proposed Census changes are adopted. #TakeAction today: nlihc.quorum.us/campaign/b5q…

Our VP of Strategic Partnerships and Campaigns, Chantelle Wilkinson, joined the Power Station Podcast to discuss the connection between renters, voting, and the democratic process. During the conversation, Chantelle highlighted the gap in voter participation between renters and homeowners, noting that fewer than 50% of renters voted in the 2024 election, compared with nearly 70% of homeowners.
