Now Available: The 2021 NLIHC Advocates’ Guide to Housing and Community Development Policy

by Jo Miller

Every year, the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) publishes the Advocates’ Guide to Housing and Community Development Policy to educate advocates of all kinds about the programs and policies that make housing affordable to people from lower-income communities across America.

Advocates’ Guide ’21 is a go-to resource for affordable housing and community development practitioners, advocates, and policymakers for detailed descriptions of every federal housing and community development program, as well as current challenges, opportunities, and practical strategies for addressing the shortfall in housing that is affordable and available to those in lower socioeconomic positions and their communities.

We can all effectively advocate for housing programs with our members of Congress and other policymakers.

This guide will give you the overview of housing programs and advocacy tools you need to be a leader in the affordable housing movement and to advocate effectively for socially just housing policy for low-income Americans.

NCHH’s David Jacobs, PhD, CIH, chief scientist, Sarah Goodwin, policy analyst, and served as two of the Advocates’ Guide‘s many esteemed authors.
