Protect Poor People’s Right to Vote
- Issue: On Oct. 26, H.R. 1461 (the Federal Housing Finance Reform Act of 2005) passed, authorizing the Affordable Housing Fund that will increase the supply of affordable homes for very low and extremely low-income families.
- However, an amendment to H.R. 1461 disqualifies nonprofit organizations from participating in the Fund if they have engaged in non-partisan voter registration, get-out-the-vote, or in some cases grassroots lobbying, in the previous year.
