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

Tim Fitzgerald, San Jose


There is nothing more painful in life than to be forced to live in the streets without a place to rest.

As Christ himself said, "The son of man has no place to lay his head." Where are the homeless to turn if not for help from the nation's leaders? In Silicon Valley there has been an unmet housing shortage for forty years. Clearly local authorities would rather profit at the expense of those who are at a disadvantage, rather than meet their public responsibilities and resolve this inequality. Please help.
