Our letter to the President

Dear President Obama,

Please take action to end America’s affordable housing and homelessness crisis. We need:
  • More section 8 vouchers immediately
  • Build public housing to meet the need
  • Full funding of the National Housing Trust Fund
  • Stop foreclosures

Debbie and Gary Sanchez, Newcastle, CA


We are blessed to have housing that we can afford but, in the past two years we have moved out of an apartment and into a small motor home and later lived with my wife’s mother because we could no longer afford housing. We were blessed to be able to find an older mobile home at a very low price. We can afford to live here only because we had access to private financing from within our family and our total monthly expense for housing is about half of the normal rental rates in our area. We thank the Lord for our good fortune but we know that many others are not so fortunate.
