The most powerful way to make a difference in housing policy is through quick, frequent contact with your state legislators. Every time you encounter an issue that drives up housing costs, take a minute to let them know. Keep your message short, friendly, and factual—no need for lengthy details or blame. A text, call, or brief email works perfectly. You can easily find your legislators here.

Why does this matter? Reaching out often, especially before the legislative session begins, ensures your voice is remembered when decisions are made.

Here’s how to get started:
  • Find your legislator: Look up your House and Senate members here. Zoom in on your area to see who represents you.
  • Reach out: A short, friendly message or quick call is all it takes. Many legislators even list their cell numbers—texts work great!
  • Keep it simple: Share the problem, where it happened, and note that it adds cost to housing. Avoid blame or attacking individuals.
  • Do it often: Every time you encounter an issue, speak up. Frequent, polite contact is powerful.
