With support from the Center on Budget & Policy Priorities (CBPP), the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) has released an update to the Rental Housing Programs Database (RHPD) and accompanying report to give policymakers, researchers, and housing advocates greater insight into the growing number of state and local programs that promote affordable housing. 

Join this webinar to learn more about the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities' emerging engagement around state and local housing policy, including their work with stakeholders to increase access to affordable housing by filling the significant gaps in resources caused by longstanding underfunding of federal affordable housing programs. CBPP staff will discuss their initial plans for supporting state-level housing justice work and share learnings from an updated database and report they recently commissioned from partners at the National Low Income Housing Coalition detailing major state and locally funded housing programs across 48 states and DC.  

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand how to use the updated database and report. 
  • Learn more about the Center on Budget & Policy Priorities’ emerging policy work. 
  • Make connections between the Center, grantee partners, and philanthropy’s collective work. 

Speakers: 

  • Mari Castaldi, Director of State Housing Policy, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
  • Peggy Bailey, Vice President for Housing and Income Security, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities

We joined Funders Together because we believe in the power of philanthropy to play a major role in ending homelessness, and we know we have much to learn from funders across the country.

-Christine Marge, Director of Housing and Financial Stability at United Way of Greater Los Angeles

I am thankful for the local partnerships here in the Pacific Northwest that we’ve been able to create and nurture thanks to the work of Funders Together. Having so many of the right players at the table makes our conversations – and all of our efforts – all the richer and more effective.

-David Wertheimer, Deputy Director at Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

Very often a lack of jobs and money is not the cause of poverty, but the symptom. The cause may lie deeper in our failure to give our fellow citizens a fair chance to develop their own capacities, in a lack of education and training, in a lack of medical care and housing, in a lack of decent communities in which to live and bring up their children.

-President Lyndon B. Johnson, 1964 State of the Union Address

Funders Together has given me a platform to engage the other funders in my community. Our local funding community has improved greatly to support housing first models and align of resources towards ending homelessness.

-Leslie Strnisha, Vice President at Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland

Our family foundation convenes local funders and key community stakeholders around strategies to end homelessness in Houston. Funders Together members have been invaluable mentors to us in this effort, traveling to our community to share their expertise and examples of best practices from around the nation.

-Nancy Frees Fountain, Managing Director at The Frees Foundation
