The #housingcrisis is an affordability crisis.
Yesterday a neighbor posted that her landlord is listing/selling their home. They are a 3-gen #family w/ children that will need at least 3 bdrms. They can't afford #rent more than $1800/mo. She was looking for help. There aren't 3 bdrms for less than $2k+. #HousingCrisis

In no state, metropolitan area, or county in the U.S. can a worker earning the federal or prevailing state or local minimum wage afford a modest two-bedroom rental home at fair market rent. #AffordableHousing

A new program in D.C. will provide 600 families $10,000 to help them transition out of #homelessness.
Providing families with the resources and support to find stability is the first step in addressing the #homelesscrisis. 👏

The US child #poverty rate fell by nearly half last year due largely the temporary relief from the #ChildTaxCredit.
We need to do more to continue helping low-income families.

A wave of recent adoptions in Riverside County spared the lives of 68 dogs that were going to be put down, according to authorities. They're asking more people to consider adopting. abc7.com/animal-control-shet…

It has been said that "People don't become homeless when they run out of money. They become homeless when they run out of people". So grateful for @fpnational #volunteers that work to build #community around #children and families experiencing the crisis of #homelessness.

One year ago, 183 unhoused people were removed from a LA park. Just 17 are confirmed to be in longer-term housing today.
We must stop the criminalization of #homelessness and instead provide the support & services needed for individuals to find #housing.

Our nation's history of discriminatory #zoning laws continues to impact Black families forcing them into unsafe, neglected housing units.

Nationally, 9.7 million renters spend more than 50 PERCENT of their income on housing.
@alexfschwartz, Professor of Urban Policy at @TheNewSchool, suggests that we need to do much more than just increase the supply of #affordablehousing.
