Take Action with Habitat

#1 Remind Congress: Land tenure affects decent housing
	Lack of secure tenure—the legal title to property becomes a daunting roadblock to helping rebuild after virtually every disaster, particularly in the developing world. Please help us remind Congress that land tenure issues matter. Take Action »
#2 Tell President Obama to support our veterans and VASH Vouchers
	President Obama has done an excellent job of standing with our veterans since he was first elected to office, but there is more that he can do. Currently there are new housing vouchers that he, with only the use of his executive authority, could direct Veterans Affairs to support. These Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers could hold the key to homeownership for thousands of returning servicemen and women. Take Action »
#3 Protect SHOP funding.
	Please join Habitat for Humanity in making sure the Senate knows how important funding for the Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program is for rebuilding communities across the country devastated by the economy and the housing crisis. Take Action »
#4 Tell Congress to support the SLUM Act.
	Urban poverty is a growing global problem in need of a smarter solution. Please tell your member of Congress to support the SLUM Act to ensure that American aid dollars are spent wisely. Take Action »
#5 Tell Congress you stand with Habitat.
	The current session of Congress will be an ongoing series of difficult budget and policy decisions— perhaps more than any other in recent memory. Please take a moment to reach out to your senators and ask them to consider the impact of Habitat’s good works as they deliberate on the tough decisions they’ll have to make. Take Action »
