State and Local
What Membership Means
Membership helps state and local housing organizations plug into a national coalition, elevating local barriers and solutions while strengthening federal advocacy and storytelling.
What Members Get
UFG helps translate state and local barriers, policy lessons, and lived experience into federal advocacy priorities and national narratives.
Members benefit from UFG’s comprehensive view of federal housing activity, including insight into timing, opportunities, and where local voices can have the greatest impact.
Membership links state and local organizations with national advocates, industry leaders, and policy organizations working toward shared federal housing goals.
Members engage as part of a trusted, bipartisan coalition advancing practical, pro-housing solutions at the federal level.
What We Ask of National Members
UFG membership is not transactional. It is a commitment to work collectively to advance federal policies and partnerships that expand housing supply and improve affordability nationwide.
Members contribute on-the-ground perspective, policy experience, and real-world examples to help ensure federal housing priorities reflect local realities.
Members participate selectively in coalition actions such as sign-on letters, storytelling, or aligned communications when local voices can meaningfully strengthen federal e!orts.
Join the Coalition
UFG membership is open to housing and housing-adjacent state and local organizations committed to advancing federal solutions that expand housing supply and improve affordability.
Organizations interested in joining the coalition are invited to connect with our team to discuss alignment, engagement, and next steps.
