Nonprofit leader advocates for funds in DC

SARASOTA — Habitat for Humanity Sarasota Executive Director Renee Snyder was in Washington, D.C., last week with over 340 Habitat leaders, homeowners and volunteers to encourage members of Congress to support affordable housing.

Snyder used the trip to warn leaders that proposed federal cuts will intensify the affordable housing challenge facing Sarasota and other areas in the region.

“We are in Washington, D.C., to ask our representatives on Capitol Hill to make greater investments in affordable housing, not less," Snyder says in a statement.
