All Hands on Deck: It’s Time to Get Out the Vote

Have you heard? NAHRO Votes is NAHRO’s new nonpartisan Get Out the Vote (GOTV) resource, providing PHAs with resources our communities can use to ensure that every eligible voter can cast their ballots with ease!

It’s no secret that U.S. voter turnout is often lower than the number of eligible voters. Low turnout can in part be attributed to access to resources and information such as voter registration requirements, additional methods of voting, eligibility, polling places, etc. 

NAHRO members understand the impact of raising their voices in support of affordable housing and community development programs. They are not only advocates, they are citizens and constituents and should have a say in who their advocacy goes to in Washington D.C. Providing members and residents with the resources they need to participate and empower others to participate is more important than ever as the housing crisis puts the American dream further out of reach for many.

Getting Out the Vote is a nonpartisan activity and there’s many things you can do to help people participate in elections that impact your community. Visit NAHRO Votes to access a wide range of resources to help PHAs get ready for this and future election days, including how to be a Voter Registration site, a Candidate Forum host, an official polling place, and more.
