Two Omaha tenants were unfairly evicted by their landlord in violation of Nebraska’s laws. We’re teaming up with @neappleseed to ask the Nebraska Supreme Court to protect the rights of HUD-assisted tenants and reinstate their lease. Learn more ➡️ https://t.co/jU4WfVd0Ow

Trump’s HUD wants to put their tenants at risk of flooding. Losing their home to flooding may also mean losing their assistance – and even becoming homeless. We’re urging HUD to preserve crucial flood protections. Read on: https://t.co/QwfZ8iWtw8

Large-scale federal public housing didn’t become permanent until the passage of the Housing Act of 1937. Here are a few ways our elected leaders can keep us safely and securely housed - and preserve deeply affordable homes in the federal housing programs today.

It's been two years since #JohnsonVGrantsPass, and 11 states have made it a crime to be homeless. The surge in anti-homeless laws is part of a campaign led by billionaire-backed think tank the Cicero Institute, or “the Heritage Foundation of homelessness." https://t.co/GGgc2Er0aW

Government transparency is central to democracy. HUD violated the privacy of their tenants, and now they're withholding crucial information about when and how it happened. Alongside @DemocracyFwd, we’re taking them to court.

During this election season, and every day after, we’re demanding a housing system that works for us all. We need our leaders to commit and deliver on preserving deeply affordable homes in the federal housing programs. It's what our communities deserve.

Over 50 years ago, Congress passed the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, beating back threats to affordable housing by creating a new federal housing program: Section 8.

Today, the Trump administration is eroding it piece by piece. Here's how we can fight back.

We’re losing deeply affordable housing faster than we can build new units. We need to hear that elected leaders will fight to keep families in their homes, protect lifesaving programs, and defend us from landlords and lenders who squeeze us for every last cent.

Thanks to @SenSanders, @AOC, and @repdeliaramirez for introducing this critical legislation – we need to keep poor and working people housed now and into the future.

Public housing is permanently affordable & publicly owned. It’s a lifeline for poor and working people. The Green New Deal for Public Housing Act will preserve hundreds of thousands of affordable homes across the country and make constructing new public housing possible.

Error-prone tenant screening reports can make or break whether a landlord accepts an applicant. Our Senior Fellow Emily Benfer's article for @evictionlab shows how states can hold screening companies accountable by sealing eviction filings: https://t.co/VuEXjTz3V5

For years, the San Diego Housing Commission approved private landlords’ requests for exorbitant rent increases. Now, thanks to San Diego Tenants Union and NHLP, tenants will receive the protections owed to them under the law. Learn more about the case: https://t.co/FRHOO9PQMs

Our country thrives when everyone, no matter what language we speak or how long we’ve lived here, has a safe place to call home. But DHS’s new immigration rule will punish people for accessing public services that meet basic needs. Our statement ➡️ https://t.co/KQ8kjGMBZA
