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

Dear President Obama,

My family asks you to attend to this ASAP, because we see so many people in the streets. Their conditions are really poor and they need your help.

Martha Sorin, San Jose


Please be aware and help others. We need for all the people to be O.K.

The difference between me in my lovely section 8 apartment, and me being alone and terrified on the street, is the section 8 program. I can truly say that section 8 has saved and IS saving my life.

Build more public housing to meet the needs.
