DON’T BREAK OUR HEART –
SAVE OURHOMES!
 
Valentine’s Day Speak Out 
Tell Congress to “Have aHeart, No More Cuts, Save Our Homes”!
 
Time: 12 Noon ThursdayFebruary 14
Place: Low-IncomeSelf-Help Center, 525 W. Alma Ave, San Jose
 
This Valentine’s Day, tenants, homelesspeople, seniors, people with disabilities, and families will gather to shoutout against further cuts to housing and other safety net programs we depend onto survive. 
We are part of a national mobilizationby the National Alliance of HUD Tenants (NAHT) all across the country.
 
Congress is right now getting ready toimplement a so-called “sequestration” cut of 5.1% to the HUD housing budget onMarch 1. This would make even more hundreds of thousands of our brothers andsisters homeless, if we do not take action to stop it.
 
Santa Clara County already experiences a desperate shortage of affordable housing.Thousands are forced to live outside in tents and boxes, where they faceunnecessary suffering and even death in this winter flu season weather. Americaand Silicon Valley obviously have more than sufficient abundance to provide forpeople’s basic human necessities. The only question is whether we have themoral clarity and spiritual courage to say this is wrong and demand that ourrepresentatives take action to house our people.
