A political perspective
Article Abstract:
Dick Morris, a Democratic political strategist reported at the NAHRO Legislative Conference held in March 2004 that LHAs should emphasize their roles in medium-sized cities, highlight their importance to the rapidly expanding Hispanic community, and make alliances with faith-based organization in order to raise awareness of housing and community development ideas. He believes that a new packaging of housing program, one that embraces faith-based initiatives would help in gaining access to the Republican Party and the work that those groups do at a local level is quite compatible with the work LHAs are already doing.
