Federal Advocacy: Habitat on the Hill
Our team brings the voice of Utah’s working-class families to the national stage.
- ■ National Policy: Met with Senator John Curtis and Representative Blake Moore to advocate for the ROAD Housing Act.

- ■ Rehabilitation Credits: Campaigned for the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act (NHIA) to close the "value gap" in distressed communities.
Global Advocacy
In March 2026, our team traveled to Kenya for a Global Village build. This international initiative is advocacy in action, highlighting the universal need for safe shelter and clean water on a global stage.
