Your Rights and Protections Under the CARES Act

Having a place to call home offers a sense of security and stability that has no price. A home is not a luxury; it is a fundamental human right. Sadly, today's unforgiving economic climate, coupled with rapid changes to our nation’s cities, has created a housing insecurity crisis that affects millions of Americans. Would-be homebuyers are confronting escalating home prices and ever-tighter credit requirements. Meanwhile, renters face displacement and possible homelessness as the cost of living rises and incomes stagnate. In response to this crisis, the National Urban League has doubled down on protecting and expanding safe, affordable housing for all.

Through programs like Comprehensive Housing Counseling and Restore Our Homes, our housing division is creating opportunities for the most vulnerable of us to achieve housing stability and security. Find out how you can support – or take advantage of – these programs today.
