Primary elections help shape who represents our communities and the decisions that impact housing affordability and availability.

The communities most affected by the lack of stable, accessible and affordable housing are often the same communities facing the greatest barriers to voting. When low-income renters participate at far lower rates than high-income homeowners, their housing needs and priorities risk being overlooked by policymakers.

Make a plan to vote! Check your registration, view a sample ballot and find your polling place at ourhomes.turbovote.org 🗳️🏡

Rhode Island's 2026 legislative session brought important wins for affordable housing, while laying the groundwork for the work still ahead.

The Housing Network was honored to co-host this week's Community Opportunity Alliance Summit, which brought community development professionals from across the U.S. to Providence for three days of learning and connecting.

As part of the , attendees had the opportunity to tour our members' (NeighborWorks Blackstone River Valley, West Elmwood Housing Development Corporation and Omni Development Corp.) communities and see firsthand the impact that R.I.'s nonprofit affordable housing developers are making in the areas they serve.

We are so grateful to COA for bringing the Summit to Rhode Island this year, and for the opportunity to trade ideas and best practices with our colleagues from across the country.

Here are just a few highlights from our experience ⬇️📸
