Homelessness is on the rise in Sioux Falls. Help make a difference as an advocate.

Save to Favorites

Every night in Sioux Falls there are more than 600 people who don’t have a home to sleep in.

As housing in Sioux Falls becomes more unaffordable, many in the community are one emergency away from becoming homeless. Sioux Falls is short more than 4,000 housing units that are affordable to renters with low incomes. For many, the high cost of rent and the shortage of housing units make it impossible to live. Our community deserves better.

Families shouldn't have to choose between paying rent and buying food. You can make a difference as an advocate. Sign up for your 1-hour New Advocate Orientation at www.results.org/volunteer

It’s time to call for bold solutions to the affordable housing crisis.

At RESULTS, we know we can make a difference beyond voting in elections. In 2021, during a pandemic and economic crisis, RESULTS advocates helped cut U.S. child poverty in half.

As an advocate, you can have a say in the policies that impact millions of people experiencing poverty in your own community and around the world. Join our community of change this year as we call for bold solutions to the affordable housing crisis.

What You’ll Do as an Advocate

With 4-6 hours per month as a RESULTS volunteer advocate, you will:

• Partner with local volunteers in your community to drive positive change together. This includes contacting members of Congress and their staff, publishing media, and organizing locally.
• Attend monthly webinars featuring policy updates, advocacy skills and tools, and anti-oppression.
• Become a more effective advocate through self-paced advocacy skills training and action taking.
• Connect with a community of advocates in your state and across the U.S.

We must stand with millions in our country facing housing insecurity and economic hardship.

As we face uncertainty about what will come next in our country, this is when our advocacy matters the most. You can ensure our leaders understand your community's needs. Over the next year, your action as an advocate will make a difference for communities experiencing poverty.

US Poverty Advocates will:

• Ensure people have access to healthy food through nutrition programs
• Call for bold solutions to the affordable housing crisis.
• Help put money back in people’s pockets by making our tax code work for people experiencing poverty.
