Contact Congress to Restore Fair Housing Funding in the FY26 Budget

We need your help again to protect fair housing rights on Long Island – and for the entire U.S.!

You previously came out to support Long Island Housing Services when U.S. Department of Housing and Urban attempted to unlawfully terminate Fair Housing Enforcement contract in February, which is the middle of the grant year.

Now the Trump Administration is trying to end the program entirely by zeroing out the HUD Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) budget in the FY26 federal budget.  This would jeopardize the critical work we do to combat housing discrimination.
