Get more involved in the campaign for the National Housing Trust Fund. Representative Barney Frank (D-MA) and the National Low-Income Housing Coalition are seeking community endorsers for the National Housing Trust Fund, which Representative Frank is planning to introduce very soon.

The National Affordable Housing Trust Fund Act would establish a National Affordable Housing Trust Fund in the Treasury of the United States.  The Trust Fund would be a dedicated source of funds for the development, rehabilitation, and preservation of 1.5 million units of decent, safe, and affordable housing for low-income families over the next 10 years. Trust funds support a variety of housing activities for low and very low-income households including new construction, preservation of existing housing, emergency repairs and homeless shelters. The National Affordable Housing Trust Fund would not only produce new affordable housing units but it would also provide a much needed stimulus to our economy, creating jobs and adding to the revenues of states and localities.
