Ask President Obama to make housing programs a priority.
In today's economic crisis, families looking for home loans are often left out in the cold. If our country makes a smart investment in vital affordable housing programs, more families will find adequate housing in these especially tough times.

Ask Congress to support affordable housing legislation to help the world's poor.
Today, 1 billion people live in slums, and that number is growing rapidly. The U.S. can be a leader in the fight to help reduce global poverty and improve the lives of people living in slums. Urge your legislators to support the Shelter, Land, and Urban Assistance Act of 2009.

Tell Congress to save the National Housing Trust Fund and support the Capital Magnet Fund.
The economic crisis means more families need help. Habitat for Humanity is ready to help by building homes with low-income families in need. Along with the National Housing Trust Fund, Capital Magnet Fund grants would give Habitat vital resources to build more homes - homes our partner families need.
