Based on our 8 Basic Principles for Social Housing in the US
What better way to show your love this Valentine's Day than with a heartfelt card? Rather than the traditional store-bought cards, opt for something more unique and meaningful: Impress your sweetie with cards promoting a cause close to your heart - building a just housing system.
We made these social housing Valentines for each of our 8 basic principles for Social Housing in the US.
Our love is like...
SOCIAL OWNERSHIP OF HOUSING
Simply & truly,
for us to share,
nothing between us &
the home we grow there.
PERMANENTLY AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Always at ease, each time it's renewed no horrible surprises steadfast through & through.
DECOMMODIFIED HOUSING
No angling for profit, just meeting our needs, our love's not for sale, and we hold the keys.
COMMUNITY CONTROL OF HOUSING
Together we stand, decisions, we share, we make the choices about what when & where.
ANTI-RACIST AND EQUITABLE HOUSING
Our love is not blind when push comes to shove, it sees when there's harm and repairs it with love.
SUSTAINABLE SOCIAL HOUSING
Conserving resources
and climate resilient,
sustainably built
with union-made brilliance.
TENANT PROTECTIONS
Like our right to counsel, like rent control too, like just cause protections, I'll keep fighting for you.
QUALITY, ACCESSIBLE HOUSING
Our love's built to last, it's thoughtful & kind, no door is kept shut, no one left behind.
Happy Valentine's Day from Alliance for Housing Justice!
