Safe, stable housing should be within reach for every family.
We advocate for expanded investments in housing assistance programs, increased housing supply, reduced barriers to access, and policies that make housing choice a reality for more households across the region.
SB 848 – Statewide Vouchers Testimony (2023)
We support Senate Bill 848 because establishing a state-funded housing choice voucher program will help more low-income families access rental assistance and lift thousands of families out of poverty.
HUD Proposed Rule FR 6362-P-01 – Reducing Barriers to HUD Assisted Housing (2024)
As a voucher administrator that already uses allowable flexibility in screening to reduce barriers to assistance, BRHP supports the implementation of this rule to make it easier for more people to access housing assistance.
Comments on Direct Rental Assistance RFI (2024)
BRHP submitted public comments on the HUD Request for Information on Direct Rental Assistance (DRA) expressing our support for DRA as a rental assistance model with the potential to address issues of underutilization of through simplification of the rental process and increasing tenant empowerment.
Proposed Changes to FMR Methodology – Improving accuracy in voucher value (2023)
As a voucher administrator operating in a market that has seen steady and significant growth of rent prices over the years, we applaud HUD for these proposed changes to the FMR calculation methodology. BRHP supports both changes outlined in the notice, the redefinition of “recent mover” and the inclusion of private sector rent data to update rent estimates.

Communities and families thrive when development is both inclusive and equitable.
We champion policies that prioritize affordability and fair access to opportunity-rich neighborhoods.
Our goal is to create vibrant, stable communities where families can grow.
Housing policy must confront the deep racial and economic inequities that shape our region.
We advocate for bold reforms that address historic injustices, dismantle exclusionary practices, and promote access to opportunity for all families, regardless of race, income, or background.
