Washington, DC right now. This is fascism.

Eviction of 62 homeless encampments start tonight.

If you don’t live in DC I need you to call your congresspeople and tell them to stop this racist, authotarian power grab.

This Thanksgiving season, I’m grateful for the long-awaited opening of the Aston!

It was an honor to attend the Aston’s ribbon-cutting with DC leaders & community members. As of yesterday, 25 individuals had moved into the Aston, with 25 more anticipated before the holiday.

Just in time for Thanksgiving, DC families are finding hope at the Aston!
🏠 The Aston offers private rooms, kitchens & dignity for homeless families.

In Camden, ME, voters overwhelmingly (77%) approved a zoning change that will allow for the conversion of a schoolhouse into an apartment building with residences on the ground floor, paving the way for new affordable homes for teachers.

CO towns also voted to facilitate housing development: Snowmass voters approved a 79-unit workforce housing project. Chaffee County voters authorized the housing authority to maintain revenues that allow it to proceed with a mixed-use development including transitional housing.

Voters in Aspen, CO, supported two separate measures to extend its 1% real estate transfer tax and 0.45% sales tax, both of which provide revenues for affordable housing programs.
