This week, learn more about the Issue 3 Affordable Housing Charter Amendment on the primary ballot May 4. Save the date for upcoming CUFA events, and get an appointment for vaccination if you are still looking for one. 

Here are the top 3 actions you can take this week:

1. 1. CUFA supports Issue 3 for affordable housing. See the announcement and learn more here. The amendment would require a $50 million per year investment in the City of Cincinnati's Affordable Housing Trust, representing less than 5% of the City's budgets. The issue is on the May 4 primary ballot, and early voting is open now.
      
      
   2. Save the date for these upcoming CUFA FUN-draiser events! First up, join us (virtually) Saturday, May 8 from 6-8 PM for CUFA's Annual Game Night! This is a ticketed event, so reserve your Game Night tickets here. We'll even bring you a goodie box before the event! Then, mark your calendar for Brink For A Cause Happy Hour Thursday, July 8 from 5-8 PM at Brink Brewing in College Hill. RSVP here for the July 8 Brink For A Cause.
