Our article for Cityscape's voucher symposium was published yesterday. We looked at the intersection of the voucher and LIHTC programs with eye toward identifying data needs and pressing Qs for fed policy: https://t.co/Mc4HJCHWGN

The way the World Cup draw feels bloated and falling apart at the seams is just perfect for this moment.

@DanielKayHertz @NLIHC Sorry, apparently it was the "skinny" budget today. They'll do the table update when the full budget is released (probably week of May 19th). I'm sure we'll offer up some preliminary analysis in the interim.

NLIHC released today its annual report, "The Gap: A Shortage of Affordable Homes." The report finds that the lowest-income renters in the U.S. face a shortage of 7.1 million affordable and available rental homes.

It speaks volumes that the current admin has been disappearing federal housing datasets for the past several weeks and now wants to eviscerate HUD PD&R. These are the actions of people who want to consolidate power for their own sake and fear public accountability.

omfg these CT county equivalents are annoying

We are pleased to release #PictureOfPreservation2024 - our joint report w/ @PAHRC. This report is a deep dive into the intricacies of the current federally assisted housing stock and the preservation risks that these homes face

Housing is a basic human need, but stable housing is out of reach or hard to keep for too many people.

Let’s be clear: This is a policy choice, not an economic inevitability. We can solve homelessness if we address the gap between incomes and rent. https://t.co/AclsPAZ7hO

Released Today: NLIHC and @PAHRC 's new report assesses whether FEMA’s National Risk Index (NRI) reflects known disparities in natural hazard risk for renters of color. https://t.co/Kc2bGKmNxL

Altogether, this is a very important topic for federal affordable housing policy that's receiving some much deserved attention on multiple fronts. Exciting!

[Dan Emmanuel @Dan_Emmanue1]

Check out Sarah's thread. Also important to consider: How does cost burden prevalence among voucher holders in LIHTC units compare to voucher holders in the private market? What is the relationship between LIHTC and voucher success?

[Sarah Saadian @SarahSaadian]

@Shelterforce has been doing some great work exploring why reforms are needed to ensure LIHTC properties are actually affordable to the lowest-income households who live there. https://t.co/LBNc1Wr2kB

[Dan Emmanuel @Dan_Emmanue1]

We also offer some preliminary estimates in the article using LIHTC tenant data collected by HUD. Other folks have even successfully matched LIHTC and HCV admin data to answer some of these questions.

[Dan Emmanuel @Dan_Emmanue1]

Thinking back on this and how the prior admin blew a golden opportunity to address housing affordability for owners and renters via substantive MID reform. https://t.co/GDcWqtwmfO

This is an extremely thoughtful and carefully reported article about the erosion of our housing safety net. Please read.

Rents have surged and homelessness is at record heights, but fewer of the poorest tenants get housing assistance.

“What we have by design is a housing lottery, where only one in every five eligible households gets assistance.”
