Enter your name, address, and email address, and a sample message will be sent to your Senators. Please customize this email if possible!

If you already have a staff contact or email address for your Senators’ offices, please email them directly instead of using the form. Lawmakers are more likely to pay attention to emails that include personal details. Create your own e-mail using the information provided in this message and customize it with specific details on the potential impact for your organization and community.  

Please be sure to provide your name and address so the staff know you are a constituent, take you seriously, and will send you a written response.  

Illustrate how federal funding represents the backbone of homelessness response nationwide:

• Give examples from your community of why this funding is so important, the impact it has had, and the impact that increased funds would have in your community.

Reinforce the importance of stable funding in the midst of chaos:

• Give examples of challenges your community has faced this historic year of funding delays, uncertainty, and administrative burdens.

Share stories of success in how we’re ending homelessness one household at a time despite the odds:

• Give examples of innovative collaborations with local partners, sub-populations your community has made progress in housing, and goals you have for 2026.

End with specific requests.

• Ask your Senators to sign onto Senator Reed’s letter, or elsewise communicate to appropriators, the White House, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development the need for additional funding.
