Current data show that fair housing organizations are receiving near-record numbers of discrimination complaints at the very moment their capacity to respond is being stretched thin by constrained funding, staffing shortages, and growing community needs. This session will provide participants with an overview of current strategies to address the challenges faced by fair housing advocates working under the twin pressures of increased demand and limited resources. Panelists will explore how organizations can prioritize high-impact work, strengthen partnerships, grapple with funding and resource limitations, use data and communications more effectively, and sustain advocacy in a rapidly shifting environment.
This session is open to virtual attendees.
