For years, the San Diego Housing Commission approved private landlords’ requests for exorbitant rent increases. Now, thanks to San Diego Tenants Union and NHLP, tenants will receive the protections owed to them under the law. Learn more about the case: www.nhlp.org/press-releas...

Our country thrives when everyone, no matter what language we speak or how long we’ve lived here, has a safe place to call home. But DHS’s new immigration rule will punish people for accessing public services that meet basic needs. Our statement ➡️ www.nhlp.org/press-releas...
The Trump administration is trying to totally control federal grantmaking and turn it into a politicized game rather than an independent review. OMB must rescind their proposal, because the people it will ultimately hurt are tenants. Our statement: www.nhlp.org/press-releas...
Our 250th Anniversary is a moment to remember our history, recommit to our ideals, and work to build a better future. Tenacity, care, healing, and experimentation are required to move us towards liberty and justice for all. Read more from our CEO @shamusroller.bsky.social ➡️ conta.cc/4uNvQ4p
The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is progress, but it is no silver bullet to ending the housing crisis. NHLP’s CEO @shamusroller.bsky.social spoke with @pbsnews.org about policies to keep tenants housed that don’t leave any of us behind.
We're calling on HUD to withdraw its proposal, which attacks bipartisan fair housing law, undermines the federal housing programs, and spreads fear amongst LGBTQ+ people, their families, and their allies. Read our full statement here ➡️ www.nhlp.org/press-releas...
We want our government to deliver for poor and working people - not sacrifice our stability AND keep us from voting. NHLP’s CEO @shamusroller.bsky.social spoke with Multifamily Dive about Trump’s refusal to sign a major housing act into law.
Our CEO @shamusroller.bsky.social talked to @rondakaysen.bsky.social at @nytimes.com about Trump's refusal to sign the bipartisan and bicameral 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Our June newsletter is coming out soon. The summer just started, but things are already heating up in the world of housing justice - sign up now and stay in the loop ➡️ www.nhlp.org/newsletter
Though there is no silver bullet to solve the housing crisis, we applaud Sen. Scott, Sen. Warren, Rep. Hill & Rep. Waters for passing the ROAD to Housing Act. But we need our government to save our homes & protect the people who live in them or the crisis will continue ➡️ www.nhlp.org/press-releas...
Juneteenth is a day of celebration and hope for Black communities across the U.S. Today and every day, Black organizers, advocates, and caregivers continue to build a world where the freedom to live and thrive in a safe and stable home is a right guaranteed to all of us.

This #ImmigrantHeritageMonth, we're celebrating our immigrant neighbors who help our communities thrive. Everyone, no matter where we're from or how long we’ve lived here, deserves a safe and stable place to call home.
Since Trump took office, lifesaving programs and shelters to protect domestic violence survivors have seen catastrophic funding delays and cuts. NHLP’s Chief Legal Officer, Natalie Maxwell, spoke with @thenation.com about the administration’s refusal to follow fair housing laws.
Trump wants to separate and evict immigrant families in HUD housing. NHLP’s Managing Attorney Marie Claire Tran-Leung spoke with @apnews.com about the harm the proposal has already caused in Texas.
Under the Trump administration, HUD is slashing funding for affordable housing and eliminating lifesaving programs. Poor and working people are paying the price. This Affordable Housing Month, we need our government to ensure the housing market and economy works for all of us – not just billionaires
Everyone deserves the freedom to be who they are and love who they want without the risk of being denied a roof over their head when they need it most. NHLP Senior Attorney Hannah Adams spoke with @19thnews.org about Trump’s cruel proposal to ban trans people from homeless shelters.

Affordable housing and public lands go hand in hand. A broad coalition of housing, conservation and Tribal advocates is pushing back on selling off public lands—and offering real solutions ➡️ www.nhlp.org/wp-content/uploads/Shared-Ground-Aligning-Affordable-Housing-and-Public-Lands-Priorities.pdf
Everyone deserves the freedom to be who they are and love who they want, without having to worry about losing their housing. Trump’s newest proposal would allow HUD housing providers and shelters to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people, who are already at a higher risk of housing insecurity.
We’re fighting back against Trump’s attempt to kick 3 million families out of their homes with a proposal that’s all setbacks and no solutions. In the middle of a housing crisis, we need to protect the programs that keep us housed - not make more families homeless.
Trump’s HUD wants to revoke a crucial tenant protection, and if they succeed, tenants in states across the country would face eviction in as few as three days for being as little as $1 short on rent. We’re fighting back to stop families from losing their homes.
Together, we fought for our communities, our families, and real solutions to the housing crisis. Over the past 2 months, thousands of people across the country told HUD to #KeepFamiliesTogether and shut down Trump's senseless proposal to kick immigrant families out of their homes!
Trump’s proposal to kick over 20,000 immigrant families out of HUD housing is part of the administration’s campaign to scapegoat our neighbors for the housing crisis. We need HUD to focus on real solutions that work for us all instead of sowing fear and division.
We still have a week left to stop Trump’s HUD from separating immigrant families. The best way you can take action is to join the 4,300 people who are out here making their voices heard by submitting a comment to HUD by April 21 ➡️ keep-families-together.org.
Trump’s HUD is trying to kick 20,000 immigrant families out of their housing. Josefina’s is one of them. After living in Los Angeles for eighteen years, HUD may now force them to make an impossible choice. We have one more week to take action. Join us at keep-families-together.org
This month marks 58 years since the passage of the Fair Housing Act: the long-fought for promise that our government will protect our freedom to live in a safe and stable home, no matter what we look like, where we come from, or who we love.
If Trump’s HUD proposal passes, thousands of families would be forced to separate - or leave their homes altogether. NHLP’s Senior Attorney Marie Claire Tran-Leung spoke with @bloomberglaw.com about the impact this will have on immigrant families and citizen children.
We have 12 days left to fight back against Trump’s proposal to separate immigrant families in HUD housing. Almost 3,000 comments to #KeepFamiliesTogether have been submitted so far - is yours one of them? If not, you still have time! Take action today at keep-families-together.org
