Thinking of our neighbors in Eastern Kentucky again experiencing flooding https://t.co/V19QIxIj9l and know @Faheonline Network will be there to repair housing and community facilities as much as we can. #FloodSituation#Kentucky
Panelist Lindy Turner of Fahe Member @ClinchPowell now asking partners & policy leaders about the impacts of benefits cliffs on homeownership & how to navigate income eligibility thresholds to ensure working families can still access assistance in today's pricey housing market.
.@USTreasury Deputy Asst. Sec. @NpoyoA highlights the need for liquidity for community developers, especially for rising land acquisition costs.
Also points to the need to lower homebuilding costs (like new homebuilding techniques) without balancing increases on backs of workers

"If an individual already lives in a low-income community, oftentimes only the lowest of this low-income group can qualify." Thanks to @SenatorRounds for taking the lead to discuss Fahe's Rural Income Limits Fairness proposal for the first time in Congress https://t.co/l2FIbJ5rN5
Fahe was glad to join @ReconnectMcD for a celebration of the Renaissance Village community for local teachers with @ARCgov Co-Chair Gayle Manchin, Gov. @JimJusticeWV & @Sen_JoeManchin. Educator support projects like these can help more communities build robust teacher pipelines.
Strong schools anchor the local workforces that revitalize economies—teacher pipelines like @ReconnectMcD train the next generation of leaders. Reforming income eligibility thresholds can help more communities recruit & retain high-performing educators where they're most needed.
Current federal income eligibility limits unfairly disadvantage our neediest communities. For families in rural areas with concentrated poverty, adopting a national floor for AMI calculations can level the playing field & help revitalization dollars flow where they're needed most
Way to go Hope! Your passion and clear leadership on the issue of clean water for all is inspiring. #leadership#water @faheoneline https://t.co/uZcNEft5jX
