GIVE HOUSING A VOICE
We believe housing is a broad spectrum and everyone is on it. You might find yourself at various places within this continuum throughout your life. Depending on life circumstances, you could be homeless, under-housed, cost burdened, downsizing, transitioning, housed, or set for life.
In New York State, every community has the right to decide what affordable housing models work best for that community. “Give Housing a Voice” is an awareness-advocacy campaign centered on the importance of affordable housing. Our mission is to encourage and empower people to make change happen through community development.
We have compiled talking points, resources and strategies to help you address the challenge, to change the discourse and to support affordable housing in your community. We are working together to “Give Housing a Voice.” With compelling facts and statements, you can start the conversation to help forward housing options and planning in your community.

For instance, if you are a senior looking for affordable housing on a fixed income, you can direct the addition of affordable housing to your town’s housing stock. Or, if you are a town supervisor ready to raise the conversation about a new project in your community. You can bring resources to the table and set up a task force.
“Home Matters” to all of us. Give Housing a Voice.
