Michael Daniel and Laura Beshara have shaped the nation’s housing policy, changed the way our city elects its leaders, and turned a landfill into the Trinity River Audubon Center—proof that some superheroes have law degrees. https://t.co/muDijYHeT6

It’s time for Cincinnati to stop over concentrating low-income housing in its Black neighborhoods in violation of our civil rights laws.

Federal Environmental justice data shows that LIHTC projects in Black/Hispanic neighborhoods in Texas’ big 5 cities are disproportionately at risk from nearby industrial uses.

[Daniel Beshara Law Firm @Daniel_Beshara]

On behalf of @ICPDallas we filed a comment with TDHCA that the state must affirmatively further fair housing in the LIHTC program to address the segregation of the location of the projects in Texas’ metro areas. See comment: https://t.co/DezO8sHRSE

HUD’s new Small Area Fair Market Rent rule finds no increased costs to SAFMR implementation.

[Daniel Beshara Law Firm @Daniel_Beshara]

Building on our litigation on behalf of @ICPDallas that created Small Area Fair Market Rents or zip code rents for voucher families to lease housing in opportunity areas, HUD’s expansion of zip code rents to 41 new metro areas is a necessary step to reduce segregation.

[Daniel Beshara Law Firm @Daniel_Beshara]

Today’s HUD action allowing 41 new metro areas to use zip code level SAFMR rents expands housing and neighborhood choice for thousands of voucher families to escape segregation and poverty. https://t.co/RqjQzrddVk

HOA bans on vouchers furthers racial housing segregation. A new state law ends those bans, but HOA rental restrictions continue to discriminate and greatly limit housing for voucher families.

[Bloomberg CityLab @CityLab]

HOAs backed by developers have long discriminated against residents using rental vouchers. Now, lawmakers in Texas want to end the practice — but it's more widespread than they realized https://t.co/xomWOf2D4n
