Attacks on HUD and fair housing will result in more homelessness among older adults and people with disabilities. We need urgent action to preserve HUD programs and people’s rights to access housing without discrimination. We call on Congress to protect HUD and its duty to promote fair housing for all. We urge those in our network to do the same by contacting your members of Congress.
