Are You a Public Housing Resident Behind on Rent? Received an Eviction Notice? Here’s What to Know.
—
If you’re one of 1.6 million people living in public housing nationally, you have special protections meant to prevent low-income tenants from being evicted when they fall behind on rent. We created a guide to the process.

Jasmin Belanger believed the deal was simple: pay off what she owed, and her landlord would let her keep her housing.
It wasn’t until months later that she learned it had left her with a permanent record of an eviction — despite there never being one.

House prices ticked up in July, so its time to say again:
House price rises are...
NOT a 'return to growth';
NOT a 'bounce back';
NOT the return of a welcome return of 'health' to the housing market...
HOUSE PRICE RISES ARE ASSET PRiCE INFLATION & ARE CONTRIBUTING TO OUR ONGOING HOUSING CRISIS!
Until we get this message we will never approach removing our housing problems (yes, I know there are other issues for rental rights to loose finance that contribute too)

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, promises a rent freeze that’s easy to deliver but it remains to be seen if it will solve the city’s deeper housing problems. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/28/world/freezing-nyc-rent/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #zohranmamdani #newyorkcity #democrats #housing
Trump regime's move to send the homeless et al to concentration camps is right out of the Nazi playbook.
Journalists who maintain "neutrality" in the face of fascism are helping to normalize this. They'll regret their inaction when they're among the imprisoned (or worse).
The visibility of homeless people on street corners, begging for food and housing, is an obvious sign that our economy is failing. I've seen a large increase in the number of people begging at intersections in my suburbs far outside of Chicago, steadily increasing since Covid lockdowns ended.
Dictators need to hide the homeless in order to hide their economic failures. (Also, without an address, the homeless can't vote, making them easier targets.)
Republicans have always preferred the more expensive "prisons and insane asylums" response to #homelessness , rather than the less-expensive and proven #HousingFirst solutions.
Much of this current White House statement on the subject tries to forestall and negate #HousingFirst discussions by demonizing the homeless and portraying them all as either insane or addicts, rather than just signs of an economy that is failing to meet the basic needs of millions of its citizens.
Another aspect of the housing crisis?
John Burn-Murdoch (FT) suggests that a widespread decline in mental health in the 'Anglosphere' may be linked to a declining ability of young people to own their own dwelling; a promise of a 'property-owning democracy' now snatched away from young people by the workings of the housing market.
Its not the only driver of stress & anxiety, but JBM argues its nonetheless a significant aspect of the metal health travails of the young.

The crazy 'left wing city' of San Francisco just made staying in your RV in the city in one spot for more than 24 hours illegal. Only one supervisor voted against it.
And defunding or reforming the cops? Not with an increase of $27 million in additional funds.

Federal housing officials spent years investigating cities from #Chicago to Memphis to Corpus Christi for putting industrial plants and unwanted facilities in poor, nonwhite neighborhoods.
Now, under Trump, the agency plans to drop the cases.
