We are taking HUD to court for trying to eliminate the 30-day notice for eviction in HUD housing. If Trump’s HUD wants to eliminate crucial tenant protections, they have to go through us first. Filed with Legal Aid Society of Eastern Virginia. https://t.co/HMm7yI5hPL

Trump’s HUD has imperiled funds to crucial homelessness prevention programs. If you’re defending our communities from displacement and homelessness, read NHLP and National Homelessness Law Center's new toolkit here: https://t.co/9EKEJay8Pb

We’re in a housing crisis, and Trump wants to kick subsidized tenants out of their homes. NHLP’s new factsheet lays out how these cuts will force families to jump through hoops: https://t.co/H2NqmXYS1z

This Fair Housing Month we are defending hard-won protections. At @NHLP we’re fighting for a different future. While this moment is hard, we must imagine & build a housing system that puts people over profit. Read more of our thoughts here: https://t.co/YMsGbahirz

“Tenants have a right to know who owns their home. The Know Who Owns Your Home Act introduced by @RepLBR and @RepMaxineWaters will give tenants more security and ultimately power,” said NHLP’s executive director @shamusroller.

Timothée Chalamet grew up in affordable housing for artists in NYC.

We can make New York a city for everybody — not just millionaires and billionaires — by bringing back social housing.

We're ready to FIGHT for tenants and SAVE our homes.

[NHLP @NHLP]

Most working tenants & homeowners are struggling, & housing costs have outpaced wages for years. The next admin should bring down the biggest costs for everyday people & families. Read more from @shamusroller for @shelterforce: https://t.co/fMKVXMx0Sl

Our vision can serve a roadmap to help the next president:
• Protect tenants
• Preserve affordable housing
• Improve & expand vouchers
• Preserve, improve, & expand rural rental housing
• Make it easier to buy and keep a home.

Today @NHLP released its transition documents, a set of recommendations for the next presidential administration. These reflect the deep knowledge of our team and important steps to solving the housing crisis. https://t.co/MyzSFcRVx7

Nobody should miss out on better rates or service because they can't easily switch banks.

Everyone should have the freedom to easily change providers & shop around for the best deal.

@CFPB's new rule will make this a reality, giving people more choice.

Not to mention that California's higher development fees are a direct result of the fact that cities can't fully pay for services through property taxes so they jacked up fees.

[Shamus Roller @shamusroller]

California's history of limiting property taxes is intimately tied to the history of rent control. Many city rent control ordinances were passed following Proposition 13's cap on property taxes - which created significant housing inflation. @WSJ Ed Board misses the history.

[Shamus Roller @shamusroller]

One can have a reasonable debate about rent control but an editorial like the WSJ one from yesterday reflects a failure to understand history and a belief that some people are deserving but renters are not.

Tenants vote. “Housing is at the base of a lot of people's economic insecurity, so that's shaping the election,” said NHLP’s @shamusroller to @clbtea.

1. Nobody should have to worry about being ripped off when fleeing a hurricane.

As the country reckons with hurricanes Helene & Milton, we’re hearing reports of people being price-gouged for things they need to get out of harm’s way, like hotels & gas.

.@mcuban is wrong. Lina Khan is the best FTC Chair in modern history.

By taking on corporate greed & illegal monopolies, Lina is doing an exceptional job preventing large corporations from ripping-off consumers & exploiting workers.

Thanks @linakhanFTC for what you are doing.
