EMAIL LISTS

Not getting enough email? This page contains information on email lists (also known as listservs) maintained by other organizations on topics of interest to the NNIP community. Some of the lists are monitored by the NNIP staff; noteworthy items are cross-posted on NNIP's own email list, NNIP News. Users who are particularly interested in the subject of a list, however, are encouraged to subscribe directly to that list.

Two types of email lists are included here. Discussion lists are those where the subscribers can both send and receive messages to be read by the entire list. They are usually intended to promote dialog among the list members. Broadcast only lists are those where only the hosting organization can send out messages to the list. These lists are exclusively for one-way communication—from the host to the subscribers.

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
The purpose of this list is to facilitate the exchange of information on the nexus of housing and welfare policy among housing and welfare professionals, researchers and policy analysts, policymakers, and foundation representatives. Topics include initiatives that help subsidized tenants find and retain work, the implications of the new housing bill for welfare reform efforts, and state and local programs that provide housing allowances to families attempting to move from welfare to work.

This mailing list is a forum for discussing the use and future of the American Housing Survey.
