Support the National Housing Trust Fund
 On May 28, 2010, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act of 2010, which included initial funding of $1.065 billion for the National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF), as well as important provisions regarding the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program. This week, the U.S. Senate may be voting on this bill, including funding for the NHTF. Many national, state, and local organizations, including The National Center on Family Homelessness and its Campaign to End Child Homelessness, have been advocating for the NHTF. Organizations from every state have signed a public letter supporting it. Help ensure Senators continue to hear from their constituents about supporting the NHTF - Please contact your Senators!
