Increase Affordable Housing in Silicon Valley - Catholic Charities

Shelter is a basic human need. Housing assistance is one of the greatest emergency needs in our county. Join with others in asking Congress to take three steps:

• Increase HUD funding to provide 59,000 Section 8 vouchers for Santa Clara County. This is the number of families on the waiting list.


• Pass the National Affordable Housing Trust Fund legislation for the construction of 1.5 million low-income housing units over 10 years.
  
• Create legislation for the right to decent, affordable housing.

Send this message to your Congress person this month.
