And we’re back: we will resume our regular weekly posting shortly.
In the mean time, we encourage readers to take a look at the website of Affordable Rental Housing A.C.T.I.O.N., an advocacy organization whose stated purpose is pasted below. The website of A.C.T.I.O.N.–an acronym for A Call to Invest In Our Neighborhoods–contains several of excellent resources and news updates.
Affordable Rental Housing A.C.T.I.O.N. (A Call To Invest in Our Neighborhoods) is a grassroots campaign led by a broad, cross-industry coalition of over 290 national, state, and local organizations.
Through Housing Credit advocacy and education, the A.C.T.I.O.N. campaign focuses on ensuring that low-income working families throughout the nation have access to decent, safe, affordable rental housing.
As the 112th Congress considers tax reform and deficit reduction solutions, the campaign has reconvened to revise its strategy in light of the changed political and fiscal environment. Moving forward, A.C.T.I.O.N. will focus on both protecting and preserving the Housing Credit in whatever deficit reduction or tax reform plan Congress considers, and enacting national consensus proposals to sustain the program’s effectiveness and efficiency in solving the nation’s affordable rental housing challenges.

I am a single mother with 3 children,2girls(18&19)&1boy(14months). We live in a 1 bed room apt with my son’s father. Hes not doing what he always promises because of drugs. My girls both work& I clean houses when I can get the work. We r all always in our rooms (because there’s only 2 besides kitchen& bath). It’s just an awful way to raise my baby& my girls r so depressed. I would love have even a 2 bed room place that my girls& myself could afford.
