@ByJoshSolomon @SpataTimes Thank you for the reporting. Stay safe!

One of many favorite quotes today at @HealthyStPete event "Eviction is to a black woman what jail is to a black man."

[Amy E Foster @AmyforStPete]

Dont earn $27/hr? Then you need to work 3.7 jobs and 148 hrs to afford Pinellas Cty median rent of $1405. Let that sink in for a min. #HousingCrisis

[Amy E Foster @AmyforStPete]

Proud to see so many @PCHLB members at @HealthyStPete to learn from @dianeyentel and @kresgefdn about housing and health equity in Pinellas County.

"This omnibus is a sign that Republicans are not as ideologically committed to slashing spending as some of their most ardent supporters would like to believe." https://t.co/rBoplK4qxw

Hot off the presses-good news for housing https://t.co/GDQ7br4Qt8

[Diane Yentel @dianeyentel]

Lots of good housing news in omnibus! Big funding increases for public housing, HOME, PBRA, CDBG. Smaller increases for S8, Choice Neighborhoods, homeless assistance grants. The outcome of effective advocacy and a budget deal! More soon. #NLIHCForum18

[Opportunity Starts at Home @OppStartsatHome]

Great infographic from @natfairhouse @ItsLisaRice about how housing impacts so many different aspects of life. Where you live MATTERS #OpportunityStartsatHome #NLIHCForum18

Our city's love and history with Jack Kerouac got written about in the The New Yorker! Read and Write on! https://t.co/EPInPEcBIP

[Invisible People ➤ Imagine Everyone With a Home @invisiblepeople]

Tents downtown DC. That’s a new one for me. Hooked the homeless person living in this tent up with new socks. I guess this is affordable housing in America. #NLIHCForum18

@CoryBooker "We are not a nation of liberty & justice for all yet when the underground railroad was built we weren't there yet either and we kept fighting. There are folks in this country who are comfortable and asleep and we have to wake them up." #NLIHCForum18

[Amy E Foster @AmyforStPete]

There were some serious @CoryBooker fans in the room when he walked in but as he keeps speaking truth to power the audience is about to jump to their feet in praise. "Hope is the active conversation that despair will never get the last word." #NLIHCForum18

#SenBooker quoting the renowned #AliceWalker “The real revolution(ary) is always concerned w/ the least glamorous stuff... w/ helping illiterates fill out a food-stamps form - for they must eat, revolution or not.” #NLIHCForum18

[Bloomberg CityLab @CityLab]

Americans need more affordable housing. Steel and lumber tariffs are not going to help https://t.co/TIPbsf3Hho

[Amy E Foster @AmyforStPete]

Charlie Cook from the Cook Political Report lays out the 2018 Political and Legislative Landscape at #NLIHCForum18 and he is making the case for a wave election in the mid-term. Lots of diagnostics to show positive environment for flipping seats.

[Meredith Dodson @dodsonadvocate]

Grateful for chance to learn more of our discriminatory history. Federal Housing Administration: subsidized construction of giant subdivisions (Leavittown..) “Prohibited sale to African-Americans… Not a hidden history but an open history of discrimination” #NLIHCForum18 https://t.co/egQAp1aCEk

@MarkPuente @CharlieFrago @CharlieGerdes You aren’t being called the nuisance. Trying to make sure you can still enjoy your favorite hobby. 😊

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Public lands belong to the American people. We don’t want them opened up for drilling. Retweet if you agree.

[Amy E Foster @AmyforStPete]

@wmooretimes @TB_Times Thanks for shining light on this important issue. There are discussions about building a family shelter and this helps ppl understand need.
