At present, Campaign member organizations are in 33 states. The Campaign leadership projects it will soon have the multi-thousands of residents needed to fight for and win residents' priority concerns.
Participants conduct major letter-writing campaigns.
The Campaign's Steering Committee meets at least twice annually with HUD Officials and federal policy makers and their staffs, in Washington, D.C., to respond to federal housing proposals and to advocate their own policy proposals. The RaP in each locale is the group of residents, welfare reform specialists, legal services attorneys, organizers, voter registration specialists and intermediary organizations that will plan and carry out residents' ongoing action strategies. The current climate of runaway deregulation of the public housing and welfare systems has influenced the Campaign to help residents across the nation to speed up their organizing efforts. Residents are losing most of the protections formerly provided by federal policy safeguards, and they're now highly vulnerable to a new political order which permits local decision-makers to operate the public housing and welfare systems as they prefer. This nucleus in turn, serves as the primary planners for on-going RaP activity.
