Action Alert

TELL CONGRESS TO FUND THE NATIONAL HOUSING TRUST FUND
Colorado will receive $14 million - 278 new jobs will be created!

Congress still has not funded the National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF).

The House passed H.R. 4213, the Tax Extender bill, with $1.065 billion for the NHTF in late May, but the Senate has not been able to get enough votes to move it forward, despite unprecedented support from organizations in every Congressional district. So, we can't let legislators off the hook. Congress must provide $1.065 billion in funding for the NHTF this week before adjourning for the July 4th recess.

Not only are the homes produced by the NHTF desperately needed to address the increase in family homelessness due to the recession, but $1.065 billion in NHTF funding will produce 18,900 jobs, at least 278 of them in Colorado.

CALL THE CAPITOL SWITCHBOARD AT 1-877-210-5351 TODAY AND ASK TO SPEAK TO YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVE.

Tell them that before they go on recess, they MUST provide $1.065 billion in funding for the NHTF, as part of any bill that moves forward this week. To identify your Senators and Representative, click here .

Thank you for your continued support. Please email mcostello@coloradocoalition.org with the reports of any calls.

Sincerely,
