Join HNRI on Friday for a Roundtable with Our Federal Delegation

on January 12, 2021 in Events by Amy Cola

There’s a gap between where we are and everyone attaining safe housing. So how are our federal legislative delegates approaching that gap? These four leaders represent Rhode Island in federal funding, regulation, and tax policy. The bills they propose and support shape the housing market, define its limits, and, in the end, determine who can secure a place in our most important space: home.

This roundtable discussion will be facilitated by leading advocates and industry experts. It will invite our representatives to define their goals, their barriers, and how we can collaborate with them towards homes for all.
