"According to NOAA data, Philadelphia now sees nearly 12 more days above 95 degrees than it did 40 years ago." This has significant implications for #health and #housingequity. #ClimateJustice = #HousingJustice -- #PreserveAffordableHousing

With millions still struggling to pay rent due to #COVID19, time is running out to prevent a housing crisis. We urge Congress to provide resources which prevent homelessness and the loss of affordable housing. https://t.co/JrgVHUk3Mm

2.5M more women than men lost jobs Feb-May due to #COVID19 - another way the virus is worsening existing inequity. The long-term pandemic response must address the gender pay gap & other obstacles to opportunity for all. @holpuch @guardian

Thread: The #unemployment rate is very high & millions report that their households did not get enough to eat or that they are behind in paying the rent.

We are tracking this hardship in our new special series. #RentReliefNow #BoostSNAPNow

NHT's Federal Policy Director @EllenLHoffman speaks to the importance of the right to first refusal - highlighting its role in maintaining existing affordable housing against a rising litigation trend seeking to diminish its power.

[🔎 Poverty & Race Research Action Council - PRRAC @PRRAC_DC]

In a further iteration of their major 2018 @HUDgov study of HCV discrimination, @urbaninstitute released a re-analysis of the study results looking at geographic rates of discrimination based on school performance.

The findings are, sadly, unsurprising.

Now more than ever, preservation of affordable rental housing is key to achieving racial justice and closing the gap on historic inequities and housing instability. Thank you @PHFAtweets and the Preservation Network #PreserveAffordableHousing

Let’s drop the #racism and #nimbyism about #affordablehousing and talk #FACTS. Who lives in these homes? Nurses, electricians, teachers, grocery clerks, bus drivers, mechanics, child care workers, delivery drivers…essential workers, all. 1/7

We know how to solve #Philly’s #housing crisis. We just need to do it. https://t.co/LM0G2ghiDz @APMforEveryone @LISC_Philly @philanthropyPHL @PhillyMayor @PHLCouncil @GovernorTomWolf @SenatorHughes @SenSharifStreet @SenBobCasey @SenToomey

Any day we can help people live more independently is indeed an "awesome day." Thanks to all who made this possible!

[Helen Gym @HelenGymAtLarge]

90,000 people still don't have their unemployment benefits in our state. So we passed an eviction moratorium, mediation and rent repayment plans in Philly.

Until we have recurring federal stimulus checks, we build the safety-net we need through local gov.
