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

There is a lot of need for section 8 housing. As a single mother of two, I have had a very hard time finding affordable, decent living. It took me three months to find an apartment. There are a lot of unscrupulous apartment complexes that take "hold deposits", making people believe under false pretences that they will be getting an apartment. It is ridiculous to have to pay credit check fees at every place where you apply. When you are low-income you can easily spend hundreds of dollars in a few days just looking for an apartment.
