National Affordable Housing Advocacy Resources:

The National Low Income Housing Coalition’s website describes The NIMBY Report as a publication that supports inclusive communities by sharing news of the NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) syndrome and efforts to overcome it. It was initially published for nearly 10 years by the American Friends Service Committee—an outreach of the Friend Church—in collaboration with the Building Better Communities Network.
