#NLIHC's #OSAH Campaign recently hosted a webinar highlighting the achievements of the Keep Families Together Campaign, which organized a broad coalition of national, state, and local partners in response to HUD’s proposed Mixed-Status rule.

The proposed Mixed-Status rule would force families with mixed immigration statuses in certain HUD programs to choose between separating to preserve their housing assistance or foregoing their assistance to stay together.

More than 500,000 infants and toddlers experienced homelessness in 2023–2024, the highest estimate in three years. Yet fewer than 1 in 10 were enrolled in key early childhood development programs.

A new report from SchoolHouse Connection, an OSAH Roundtable member, highlights the urgent need for coordinated action across housing, healthcare, homelessness, and early childhood systems.

Every child deserves a safe, stable place to grow and thrive.

Join us to hear from Sarah Lewis, Harvard professor, acclaimed author, and founder. A leading voice on the intersection of art, culture, and democracy, Lewis explores how creativity can advance equity and justice in American society.

Her perspective challenges us to think more broadly about how we define justice, whose stories are represented, and how we build a more equitable future.
