The Trump Administration is attempting to illegally restrict funding for @HUDGov’s flagship program that helps communities combat homelessness and provide affordable, safe, and stable housing to our most vulnerable residents.

We’re suing.

We will not allow the President to callously break the law and worsen the homelessness crisis across the country.

One of the nation’s largest apartment management companies has agreed to pay $7 million in penalties and fees in a lawsuit that details industry collusion on rent levels. https://t.co/Fs4du8dbuV

Whether it's taking food stamps away from hungry families or housing assistance from homeless people, this administration has no heart. https://t.co/Rbp0CDKbJO

@axios This is consistently what's been demanded – continuation of ACA subsidies so people can afford their premiums. Budgets are year to year. Everything's a one-year deal. Nothing's really guaranteed beyond the next year's showdown.

When rezoning was proposed 8 years ago, it seemed crazy that developers could gentrify LA’s Skid Row. But it’s happening. Investors are moving into America’s poorest neighborhood (47% of residents are homeless) with a $2 billion high-rise. #displacement https://t.co/2XIUETdImO

There are now two Americas when it comes to housing:

In one, people work multiple jobs and still can't afford a home.

In the other, housing isn't a place to live but a portfolio to grow.

They’re raiding homeless shelters btw.

In Los Angeles.

In Chicago.

In San Diego.

I bumped into an old friend here in Washington, D.C. @AOC

We have a few thoughts to share about the government shutdown:

Trump intends to cut more than a billion dollars from housing units that are currently occupied by formerly homeless people — most are disabled & require supportive services to stay housed.

Trump admin looks at deep cuts to homeless housing program https://t.co/h1RpoFi7px

I’m glad @kilmeade apologized for his extremely callous remark about people struggling with mental illness. While they are often the most visible people who are #homeless, always remember that most Americans without housing simply can’t afford the rent.

[Leah Goodridge @leahfrombklyn]

And guess how he found out..?

His landlord tried to evict him and during the court proceeding, his tenant attorney told him he actually doesn’t even need to leave because the apt’s rent stabilized and he’s been paying $1k extra a month.

WHEEEWWWW!!

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

The average rent in the United States has more than doubled since 2000.

@BobbyJindal Everybody else: “Bobby Jindal is still governor of Louisiana?”

Huge thank you to @cd4losangeles @nithyavraman for speaking the truth about Los Angeles' failure to meet the moment on housing.

@ahouse4all Trump's militarization of sweeps will weaken support for Newsom's criminalization agenda w/ @AssemblyDems and @CASenateDems. Meanwhile, this is also true:

We are watching closely as the federal government broadcasts various threats to folks without homes in D.C. We want to be clear about a few things. 🧵

[Jerry Jones @JerryJonesLA]

Immigrants, federal workers, Muslim travelers, hairdressers with tattoos, trans folks, anti-war protesters, & now people living out of doors

Lopez: Trump's order on homelessness gets it all wrong, and here's why https://t.co/PEBWbFbGEv

Big turnout at LACAHSA to advocate for homeless prevention. Los Angeles is implementing Measure A, the largest ballot measure in US history addressing #homelessness at $1.2 billion annually.
