Every family deserves a safe place to call home.

United Way Worldwide CEO, Angela F. Williams, JD, M.Div, and National Fair Housing Alliance CEO, Lisa Rice, are leading efforts to combat housing insecurity and discrimination. In their latest Newsweek article, they emphasize the need for robust policies like the Fair Housing Act's AFFH mandate and federal funding for the 211 helpline to build resilient, equitable communities.
