Post-Election Discussion: Navigating Homelessness Policy and FY25 Appropriations
November 20, 2024The 2024 election is over, but the current Congress is still in power until January – and they have a budget to pass. Finalizing money for HUD, and for vital homelessness programs, is part of that decision-making process. Now more than ever, it is crucial for advocates to mobilize efforts to educate their federal lawmakers on why they should invest in the resources necessary to address homelessness in their communities. In this webinar, join homeless service providers and Alliance staff to hear about the Alliance’s current asks for appropriations and ways to engage with Congress in 2025 and beyond.

- Marcy Thompson, Vice President of Programs & Policy, National Alliance to End Homelessness
