Housing America Month
About Housing America Month
Housing America Month is a yearly celebration of affordable housing and those who provide it in their communities.
In 2007, NAHRO created the Housing America campaign and designated October as Housing America Month: a time for the organization and its members to collectively raise awareness of the need for, and the importance of, safe, decent and affordable housing in quality communities. Each year, during Housing America Month, NAHRO members, including public housing agencies and community development organizations, host events (in-person or virtual) to showcase the important work they do year-round.
Looking for ideas to participate?
Whether virtual or in-person, NAHRO encourages members to host inclusive, safe, events for Housing America Month. Ideas include:
- Virtual tours or groundbreaking ceremonies
- Community murals
- Gardening or beautification projects
- Video interviews with staff or residents
- Little free library installations
- What Home Means to Me poster showcases
