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

Jeanne M. Barber, San Jose


Dear Mr. President,

I am worried sick about the plight of the homeless here in sunny, lovely Santa Clara County, California. True, our weather is great, but to be homeless is to be running, always running. Running from, running to, trying to make ends meet, trying to catch a bus, to get to a doctor, to get a letter, to pick up your medications, your next meal, or a dry blanket. San Jose is a very big place when you are on foot and you have no wheels.

Can you help? We all need a place to call home. Thanks.
