Treasury ERA programs have closed or are winding down, but important components remain. See thread from new research by @s_siebach @NLIHC & @whatseatingrebs @HIatPenn . 1/3 of surveyed programs not continuing financial assistance will continue other supports

[Sophie Siebach @s_siebach]

🚨Wrote a report with @whatseatingrebs @HIatPenn and @AGAurand. The report uses survey data and interviews to explore what elements of Treasury’s ERA program are being continued and what factors contributed to those decisions. Report at: https://t.co/0pslXkVWZq. Some findings⬇️

(1/?) Tomorrow, Bowser and Biden will evict around 50 of our neighbors from McPherson Square. This is my attempt to clear up some myths about what is actually happening.

Mirror mirror on the wall, show us just how gross corporate landlords are. As long as rent is relied on as a source of income, landlords will always be incentivized to do abhorrent things like this.

NEW: A House investigation into Invitation Homes and three other major corporate landlords found that the companies filed evictions against nearly 15,000 residents while the federal moratorium was in place — three times the number previously known. https://t.co/ZqMeIiIkHB

My dog, who does not pay rent or bills and is, himself, a bill, has sighed three times in the past five minutes.

[Peter Hepburn @ps_hepburn]

Big picture: there is no doubt in my mind that large-scale federal intervention (moratoria + rental assistance + income supports) have been essential in keeping renters safely housed and avoiding a surge in evictions.

[Claudia Aiken @ClaudiaFAiken]

Our latest report looks back at more than a year of survey data on ERA programs. So pleased to have the chance to work with @AGAurand @whatseatingrebs @IsabelHarner and @VrainBK again. Dream team!

1/10 We released Picture of Preservation 2021 today! @nlihc @pahrc

The preservation of public and affordable housing is key to “Building Back Better.”

Here’s why…

[Rebecca Yae (she/her) @whatseatingrebs]

this would bring us closer to serving more folks, but would still fall short of serving all eligible households or providing universal housing vouchers: https://t.co/407wF9ZWcK

[Rebecca Yae (she/her) @whatseatingrebs]

The $327B housing investments in the Build Better Back Act is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for ensuring that renters with the lowest incomes have an affordable place to call home. #HoUSingIsInfrastructure https://t.co/n4T7rnoS2z

@annymoliva @CenterOnBudget estimated how many renters the 750k new vouchers would help in each state: https://t.co/q1UOk5JlsC
