@RepJayapal Housing: Rents rose at one of the fastest rates in the U.S.; affordable vouchers dropped as landlords shifted to market rates. • Schools: Haitian/Creole students jumped from 151 to 572; costly translators and services funded largely by state/local dollars.
@RepJayapal Benefits: ~4,300 on SNAP/TANF/Refugee Cash Assistance at peak; thousands more on Medicaid (majority of non-citizen caseload). Many qualified immediately via parole/entrant rules and temp-agency jobs without benefits. • Safety/traffic: Rise in accidents
