From Tenant Organizing to the Halls of Congress: Advancing Social Housing Nationally (virtual)

Social Housing - PolicyLink
As the U.S. housing crisis deepens, the demand for bold action that provides us with safe, stable, community-controlled and truly affordable housing grows ever stronger — a demand for social housing.
Housing should enrich our lives, not the pockets of wealthy investors.
And now, this vision has made it into the halls of Congress. Come to this webinar to learn about the groundswell of local organizing working to put our homes in the hands of our communities, not corporations, and how you can get involved.
This webinar will feature a conversation between social housing residents, organizers, advocates, and researchers on the organizing happening across the country for green social housing and how it can solve our housing crisis.
Participants will come away with a clearer understanding of what social housing is, how campaigns are advancing this vision,  and how new federal legislation can support this work. 

This free national webinar event is organized by PolicyLink. Gray Panthers is sharing it with our members as a follow-up to co-convener Betsy Morris's talk on related topics at our May 2024 speaker meeting.
