What is C2EA and what do we do?
The Campaign to End AIDS (C2EA) is a diverse, exciting coalition of people living with HIV & AIDS, their advocates and their loved ones. Together, we're demanding that our leaders exert the political will to stop the epidemic, in the U.S. and abroad, once and for all.
Please call you representatives TODAY and urge them to speak to their appropriations committee leadership about adequately funding the McKinney-Vento Homelessness Assistance Program and other programs that fight homelessness. The Senate is deciding funding levels for these programs for 2012 THIS WEEK.
Ending homelessness for families is a bi-partisan issue and the McKinney program is widely regarded as HUD’s most effective program.
Today, the New York Times published its second editorial in a week urging the House and Senate to fully fund essential HUD programs. It also urged Congress to “direct more money into a program that builds and renovates affordable housing,” another reference to proposed cuts to the HOME Investment Partnerships capital program that is so essential to supportive housing.
