83% of Individuals Engaged Through Our Voter Engagement Initiative Turned Out to Vote in 2024

The Housing Alliance of Pennsylvania partnered with 37 community organizations, housing authorities, and local service providers to bring nonpartisan voter engagement directly to people with lower incomes who may be experiencing housing instability or living in affordable housing communities.

We supported our partners by building their capacity through resources, materials, and stipends, and by helping them design low-lift, high-impact voter engagement strategies that fit seamlessly into their existing programs and outreach efforts.

In the 2024 presidential election, just 53.4% of lower-income voting-eligible adults reported voting—a stark gap in democratic participation. But when these voters were engaged by trusted staff and community partners, the results told a different story: 83% of individuals engaged through our initiative turned out to vote. This outcome highlights how low-lift, relationship-focused strategies can effectively help people overcome obstacles and turn out to vote.
