The September 15, 2025, NLIHC Memo warns that a potential federal Continuing Resolution would flat-fund housing programs, resulting in fewer Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) and Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) renewals as costs rise. NLIHC calls on Congress to fully fund rental assistance and protect low-income renters from losing their homes. The memo also urges preserving the 2023 disparate impact rule under the Fair Housing Act to prevent discriminatory housing policies. Poverty data show renters remain far more likely to experience poverty, with growing racial disparities. NLIHC emphasizes advocacy, encouraging outreach to lawmakers and voter engagement through its “Our Homes, Our Votes” campaign to ensure robust FY 2026 investments in affordable housing and homelessness prevention programs.
