NEW NAHRO Advocacy Tools: Call Congress with NAHRO’s Call-in Scripts to End the Shutdown!
November 4, 2025 — America is experiencing the longest government shutdown in history. In addition to sending a letter to Congress, you can now CALL Congress and tell your elected leaders to come together to end the shutdown using NAHRO’s Action Alert Center’s newest feature.
How to Use the Call-in Scripts
- Visit https://nahro.quorum.us/action-alert-center/.
- Choose which script you want to use: we have one for Public Housing Authorities, and one for Community. Click on the Call button next to the option you want to use.
- Fill in your name, address and email address, then click the Confirm button.
- On the next screen, add your phone number, then click Submit. You’re ready to make your calls!
Once you are in the call, a brief script will appear on the screen you used to access the Action Alert Center, and the system will cycle you through your Senators and Representative. You can use the script to give whoever answers the phone a brief request to reopen the government, or leave the request as a voicemail. Feel free to use the script as is or add your own personal message.
If you’re calling Senate offices, you may hear menu options for call/voicemail If you’re calling House offices, you may be patched through directly to the office.
A space will appear for you to share any comments or notes you would like to pass along to the NAHRO team about the call. At the end of your call, a thank you message will appear and you’re done!
Let Congress know that an extended government shutdown during an affordability crisis puts our most vulnerable neighbors at risk of experiencing homelessness at a time where homelessness has risen substantially. Call your members of Congress today!
