ACTION Campaign

A Call To Invest in Our Neighborhoods (ACTION) Campaign is a national, grassroots coalition of 2,400 national, state, and local organizations and businesses calling on Congress to protect, expand and strengthen the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (Housing Credit). We serve to educate members of Congress and their staff, the Administration, and other key stakeholders about the essential role the Housing Credit plays in the production and preservation of affordable housing, and the importance of that housing to low-income families and individuals. The ACTION Campaign also focuses on the need to expand and further strengthen the Housing Credit by supporting the bipartisan, bicameral Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act, which would make major strides towards addressing our nation’s severe shortage of affordable housing. The ACTION Campaign was established in 2009 by a broad cross-section of Housing Credit stakeholder organizations in reaction to the recession and financial crisis that rapidly and drastically affected Housing Credit investment. When the market started to rebound in 2010, the ACTION Campaign shifted focus to protecting the Housing Credit in tax reform and advancing measures to further strengthen the program. Since its establishment, the ACTION Campaign has become an effective advocacy coalition, bringing the Housing Credit community and industry together to speak with one voice.
