Habitat for Humanity advocates are gathering in Washington next week, and it couldn\’t come at a more urgent time.

The affordable housing crisis is affecting families of all income levels nationwide.

One solution, however, is a national housing trust fund that will make more resources available for affordable housing construction and renovation.

You can support Habitat for Humanity advocates as they go from office-to-office on Capitol Hill. Reinforce their lobbying efforts with a note to your Senators in support of a national housing trust fund.

We know that housing trust funds work. On the state and local levels, they have helped many families in need of affordable housing find safe and decent places to live. In community after community, the results are the same: locally appropriate housing solutions that create jobs, revitalize communities and help lift people out of poverty.
