Opportunity Starts at Home – Affordable Housing Task Force Legislation Up to 16 Cosponsors in Senate

The “Task Force on the Impact of the Affordable Housing Crisis Act” (S.3231) has 16 bipartisan cosponsors (at the time this Memo went to publication), indicating significant momentum in the Senate to create an affordable housing task force to deeply study the nation’s crisis and to articulate robust solutions, as called for by the bill. The Opportunity Starts at Home multi-sector affordable housing campaign has called on Congress to support the legislation. To-date, campaign advocates have sent 412 letters to various Senate offices urging support.

Please help keep the momentum going by sending this pre-formatted letter to your senators and by spreading the word to your networks. Also, in case you missed it last week, you can check out the latest podcast with the bill’s lead sponsor, Senator Young, who talks about this legislation and why it is an important step forward.

Please follow the Opportunity Starts at Home campaign on all social media platforms: Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
