TAKE ACTION: National Call-in Day to Stop Sequestration!

Tell Congress to stop sequestration now. If you called your Members of Congress yesterday, thank you! If not, be part of NLIHC’s National Call-in Day today.

NLIHC is working hard on Capitol Hill and with the Administration to make sure that sequestration and its damaging effects are minimal and short lived. But, we need your help.

Please join us today, March 7 for a National Call-in Day. Tell your Members of Congress that their choice to sequester funds from HUD and USDA Rural Housing programs is unacceptable and must end immediately.

What to Say to Senators and Representatives:

• States are about to lose significant funding from HUD programs alone. Unfortunately, these funds cannot be supplanted by state funds. The financial hole that is about to be created is simply too large.
• In our state, there are already [Insert state figure from NLIHC’s latest research] low income households who are severely rent burdened.  Adding thousands of households in need to this total does not represent progress for the people of our state.
• Congress must immediately chose to stop these harmful impacts for low income households and replace sequestration with a balanced deficit reduction package that includes revenues, before we experience the full effects of housing loss, unemployment and other economic impacts in our state.

To learn more about the negative impact on your state by the sequester’s cuts to various HUD programs, see the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities’ paper.
To get your Members’ contact information:

1. Call the congressional switchboard toll free at 877-210-5351, or
2. Visit NLIHC’s website and enter your zip code in the Contact Congress box on the right.

When you reach your Member’s office, ask to be connected to his or her housing staffer. After you call, please let us know how the call went by e-mailing us at outreach@nlihc.org.

Make sure your voice is heard!  Today, March 7, call your Senators and Representative and remind them that every decision they make is a choice with a real impact. Urge them to choose the needs of low income families who deserve decent and affordable homes over loopholes for the wealthiest Americans.

Thank you for your continued support and action!
