Use Your Tenant Organization Funds
With your community, be sure to budget a portion of your tenant participation funds for the convention and Public Housing Day. Remember to also budget for transportation, such as an Uber or mileage reimbursement. You can send board members or other tenants – it’s your call. Just be sure to use a fair and transparent process for deciding which tenants will attend.
Ask Your Housing Authority to Sponsor
Over thirty Housing Authorities have directly paid to send tenants to our events. Ask yours to join this growing list! They will be recognized in our materials and on signage at the event. Read about sponsorship tiers here. The higher the sponsorship, the greater the recognition. Give your LHA the chance to earn this great publicity and be seen in front of our community and important policy-makers!
Look for Community Sponsors
Any organization can sponsor the convention, not just Housing Authorities. You can ask a local bank or shop for a sponsorship or sell them an ad for the program book. Any funds you raise will cover your registration costs, and the sponsor will get all the publicity benefits.
