Campaign for Hoosier Families—A Legislative Update
Campaign for Hoosier Families – A strong, public voice for Hoosier families and children in need
Action Alert: Support Pandemic Relief
Ask Indiana’s Lawmakers not to overturn
Gov. Holcomb’s Veto of Housing Bill – SEA 148
With a long COVID-19 winter settling in, the Campaign for Hoosier Families urges you to reach out to Indiana’s state legislators NOW to tell them why it’s important not to overturn Governor Holcomb’s veto of SEA 148 this session.
Indiana families can’t afford a veto override that would negatively affect rental housing and could expand homelessness. To get started, click HERE.
Urge Congress to Pass Bipartisan Pandemic Relief Bill
Also, please contact your senators and representatives in Congress to urge them to enact newly-released legislation NOW that includes $25 billion for emergency rental assistance and a one-month extension of the federal eviction moratorium issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. To get started, click HERE.
