"Housing deterioration” brings certain images to mind: a collapsing porch or a broken window, things you can see. But you can’t see problems inside a home: a child sickened by black mold or an elderly couple with no AC during a heat wave. @Shelterforce

👏👏 👏 "All of us want what Matthew wants: an affordable, comfortable home in a neighborhood with safe, efficient transportation options." ThinkTN's @ehafkenschiel and @Actionista007 are in today's @Tennessean with 3 recs for Nashville's next mayor. https://t.co/oVw5j042eo
This is the face of a man who climbed the ladder of affirmative action to his present perch of power only to help destroy the very ladder on which he ascended. This is not only the mark of deep ingratitude & disavowal of history, but a withering betrayal of justice & democracy.

“You must be able & prepared to give until you cannot give any more. We must use our time and our space on this little planet that we call Earth to make a lasting contribution, to leave it a little better than we found it...” @repjohnlewis https://t.co/IGgC8Lrw3W
Love this note from @SugarbooandCo! It’s so important to spread notes of love and encouragement during this time. We’re in this together and will get through this together!
As President Obama's HUD Secretary, I enforced the Fair Housing Act. Where someone lives determines access to jobs, education, healthcare and so much more. Stand with me: demand Donald Trump withdraw his devastating proposed rules. Housing must be fair & inclusive. Period.
I just prayed this prayer for you:
This week, may you have JOY. May the things that have felt hard come easily. May the answers to your dilemma become obvious. May you handle the things that usually stress you out… https://t.co/UZYf261eVd
Thursday thought: Consider for a moment your own housing costs: mortgage or rent, utilities, maintenance. Add your commute time costs – gas and parking or bus fare. Can your dental assistant afford that? Can your grandchild’s daycare worker afford that?
