Day 22 of 110°+ heat in a row...and counting 🌡️ That being said, temperatures may stay below record highs today thanks to the morning dew point spike. Stay tuned 👀 #azwx

Very good article in @azcentral today that spotlights how a loophole in the #LIHTC program drains approximately 10k rental homes each year. LISC calls on Congress to repeal this loophole to preserve affordable rental housing: azcentral.com/story/news/loc…

'Waste of federal money': Arizona is losing thousands of affordable rentals. Here's how

Jason Edwards wanted to live in his affordable rental for a long time. But federal law upended his plan. Many Arizonans have had similar ordeals.

.@JulietteRihl has written an excellent article highlighting a loophole in the #LIHTC program that causes the loss of around 10,000 rental homes every year. To preserve affordable rental housing, LISC urges Congress to address + eliminate this loophole. Thanks for the tag!

Arizona is losing thousands of government subsidized, low-income housing units, thanks to a legal "loophole" that allows property owners to raise rents to market rate. “You’re making money by throwing the most vulnerable people onto the streets.” azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
