NAHMA HUD Update: Secretary Fudge Launches Our Way Home InitiativeJune 2, 2022 Dear NAHMA Members,
Secretary Fudge recently launched the Our Way Home initiative, a new effort to boost the nation’s affordable housing supply. Our Way Home builds on the Biden-Harris Administration's actions to address communities' housing supply needs in an equitable, inclusive, and sustainable fashion. Through this initiative, HUD will be engaging communities through roundtables, listening sessions, and peer learning opportunities to connect communities to key HUD resources and housing partners that can help communities build and preserve more housing. The initiative is also an opportunity for HUD to get feedback for making improvements to programs from NAHMA members. “Easing the burden of housing costs for families is a top economic priority for this Administration,” said Secretary Fudge. “For too long and in too many communities, housing supply has not kept up with the growing demand. It’s going to take government working at all levels to help close the housing supply gap. I am excited to launch Our Way Home, an initiative that will not only build on the momentum that’s already begun at the federal level but will also put into focus the unique challenges and successes in communities when it comes to making sure we all find our way home.”
