AAHRA Spring Workshop Session Highlight

Housing is Hope: Why Advocacy Matters
Earlier today, we had the privilege of experiencing an impactful and inspiring session that reminded us just how powerful advocacy is in the world of housing.
Valencia Moss, LIHCA delivered a meaningful message on the importance of using our voices to create change, while Moderator Stacy Parris guided a thoughtful and engaging discussion.
This session reinforced that advocacy is not just important—it is essential. It is how we ensure our residents are heard, supported, and given the opportunities they deserve.
Thank you to our presenter and moderator for pouring into us and reminding us that Housing is Hope .
