Keep Up the Pressure to Protect Health & Housing

Congress is back in session after being home for spring break. The #1 priority is to address the budget, but at the same time, the Trump Administration is trying to put health care reform back on the table along with revising the tax code. Widespread advocacy helped protect the Affordable Care Act in March—now we need to continue that advocacy to protect the policies and funding that are critical to serving vulnerable people.

Curious about how health reform and the budget come together to threaten the Health Care for the Homeless community? Check out our recent webinar Health Reform & the HCH Community: What You Need to KNOW, What You Need to DO which provides a concise overview of the issues--and the action items you can be taking.

Here's Why Acting Now Is Important

The HCH Community Needs to Send a Clear Message

Health Care and Housing Are Human Rights! Protect the progress made under the ACA, continue to expand Medicaid in the states that haven't, and increase funding for affordable housing! Once you review our webinar, here are three easy ways you can Take Action to make a difference:

• Ask your Senators in Congress to sign the Health Center Funding Letter: learn how at the Health Center Advocacy Network.

• Sign Up to Meet With Your Elected Officials at our 2017 National HCH Conference in D.C., from June 21-24: it's quick, easy, and no experience is required.
  

• Join the Indivisible Movement to resist injustice: find resources and get started with a helpful guide.

Next month we will bring you more on the issues. Stay tuned and please share Mobilizer with your networks!

Yours in the fight for Justice,

Regina
