Resources

Although our work to pass the Affordable Homes Act was a great start, successfully promoting affordable housing requires advocacy at the local level by people working within their own communities to remove barriers and create opportunities for inclusive housing for all. This toolkit provides what we hope will be a helpful resource to future housing advocates that can be applied to the needs of their specific communities.
