August Advocacy

2024 was a record-breaking year for August Advocacy! We are overwhelmingly grateful to the 10,709 advocates — from all 50 states and the District of Columbia — who sent 140,278 letters.

Speak up for affordable housing and community development programs during NAHRO’s 2024 August Advocacy campaign! Every August, NAHRO leads a letter-writing and advocacy engagement campaign to flood Congress with messages in support of the programs our members manage and the difference they make in their communities.

Why August?

Congress takes an annual August recess to return to their districts and connect with the people they represent. During this time, your elected officials want to hear from YOU!

Visit NAHRO’s brand new Action Alert Center to send advocacy letters to Congress and the White House in less than five minutes.
