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

Leticia Dominguez, Santa Clara, CA

My father, who used to make less than $3 an hour, has worked long and hard for his family of six kids. Facing obstacles along the way we hung together as a family. Society's challenges were not always kind, but we continued to live on. Now I am going towards my 30s and have a family of my own. I have never seen my dad cry, but now he is worried about losing the home he helped build in order to make it a better place to live in while we were growing up. Now he is considering moving far away, because I believe he is giving up. I want the best for my parents who have worked hard in this country. I feel they should not be forced to move.
