Housing Is Infrastructure
I Need YOUR Help
Hi Everyone,
I need your help. I promise you that your assistance will result in less than 5 minutes of your time. Congress is currently working on finalizing a historic infrastructure package, but some members of Congress are not convinced that housing is infrastructure. I need your help! I need your help in reaching out to your Congressional representatives in urging them to include housing in the infrastructure package. Investing in affordable housing is not only beneficial to low-income families; it is economically beneficial to the broader community. Data from the 2009 American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) found that for every $1 spent on affordable housing, an additional $2.12 was generated in regional economic activity. Our communities need quality affordable housing and I need your help in communicating this message to congress.
