Once the CDC moratorium lifts, America will face the largest eviction crisis since the Great Depression

To avoid this, the federal govt allocated $45 billion for rent assistance

So why is most of that money still undistributed?

An important story from @jacquelinerabe. Most tenants can’t afford lawyers. Most landlords can. The outcome is predictable.

[Janeese Lewis George @Janeese4DC]

I met with tenants in Brightwood today and heard about the unsafe conditions they face in their building. Tenants shouldn't have to do this to have safe and healthy housing. We also talked about the need to #CancelRent for those hurt by the pandemic to prevent evictions.

We really need a civil Gideon, which guarantees Legal counsel in critical proceedings like eviction, ssi, and other similar matters. Congratulations to Connecticut for trying to ensure that tenants facing eviction have an attorney. https://t.co/f7CDPNOa5I

"Today, more than 50 years after the passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1968′s prohibition against housing discrimination, exploitive real estate practices and the deep inequities flowing from them are not historical artifacts," writes @RPhillipsEsq https://t.co/RbSOSrtbq1

[Lindsey Boylan @LindseyBoylan]

Should we convert vacant office space into affordable housing?

Yes Yes Yes
