MCAH Gets Out The Vote (And So Should You)! | TWO WEEKS UNTIL THE ELECTION Why Housing Providers Should Get Involved In Voter Outreach? Voting is a racial justice issue: Registering and educating people experiencing homelessness about voting and the voting process is a way to reduce this racial disparity. A vote is a vote: people experiencing homelessness’ voices matter as equally as everyone else’s at the polls. Providers can engage in voter registration and get out the vote efforts, but this must be done in a non-partisan way and you must assist everyone equally. Contact our Our Homes, Our Votes Coordinator Ashley Heidenrich for more information on how YOUR agency can help! [email protected]
