Hi John, As we collectively work towards homes for all, how can we work together to uplift the voices and experiences of affordable housing residents, the people who are directly impacted by our movement’s progress? Our Take: Through Resident Engagement, we can support the critical workers of affordable housing sites, including the resident services staff, with opportunities to engage, educate, and empower residents to become powerful voices and advocates in their own communities. Our Solution: This is why NPH created our Community Advocacy & Voter Engagement (CAVE) Professional Certification program and the fifth cohort starts October 20! CAVE is a professional development opportunity for resident services staff and others who provide direct service in the affordable housing industry to learn about affordable housing advocacy and policy with the goal to engage resident communities in advocacy. |

CAVE Works! Through CAVE, participants gain strategies for how to create a culture and practice of advocacy within their affordable housing communities, empowering residents to participate in elections and policy outcomes that impact their families and communities.
