All of us at the Housing Alliance are so grateful for the outpouring of generosity shown by our community during GiveBIG. Thank you! The progress we’ve made over the last few years shows what we can accomplish together when we raise a strong collective voice. Together, we’ve impacted budget and policy in Washington so that more people have a safe, affordable place to live. But there is so much more to do, and your support will make that possible. 
 
The importance of a home and the ways in which our health and well-being are interconnected, are clearer than ever before. The work ahead will be challenging, no doubt, but I am convinced that our movement is strong enough, that we won’t just get through this, but we’ll come out stronger in the long run. 
 
We are grateful to the individuals below, and 24 anonymous donors, for helping us raise $28,000 to power our work for housing justice!
