GEORGIA POSTCARD PROJECT PORTABLE
The Campaign uses a software program allowing them to turn photos into Postcards with a small portable printer. Developers, managers and construction companies help organize events at the developments when staff visit, bringing balloons and snacks. To date, the campaign has mailed approximately 1,416 postcards to 70 legislators representing 27 of the state’s 100 counties. Sometimes, residents add a personal note about what their home means to them. Each person signs a pre-addressed postcard to every legislator in their county and the chairs of key committees. Staff from the North Carolina Housing Coalition travel to developments built with funds from the Trust Fund to photograph residents and workers for the postcards. To help realize this goal, the Campaign began the Postcard Project in March 2011. Advocates wanted legislators to hear from those who have a safe, affordable place to live because of what the state’s Housing Trust Fund has been able to accomplish. The focus of the Campaign for Housing Carolina is to secure a dedicated revenue source for the North Carolina Housing Trust Fund.
