Zombie Anti-Inclusionary Study Just Won't Die
Miriam Axel-Lute, Shelterforce

Thanks Tony! Great overview of some early successes. It's important for organizations and individuals to raise community input on housing issues so that elected leadership will be able to get comfortable with perceived thin ice they feel they are on as metro regions "compete" with one another. --Jeff Washburne on Stop Talking About Displacement

To be sure, funding to make housing more affordable is crucial, whatever the tools used to achieve that. But we also need to make these kinds of services available to poor renters on a widespread basis, starting with those most harmed by housing instability--children and their families . . .
--Barbara Samuels
Moderate-income renters are facing the same housing instability as low-income renters, yet they're rarely asked to be part of the discussion, despite paying more than their fair share of tax dollars . . . Until we start treating our moderate-income renters with the same sense of urgency, we can watch our cities and counties go further into debt as their tax bases move away or sink into poverty . . .
--Carol Ott
A large part of this has to be a look at municipalities . . . Until we find a way to make it easier for developers, especially private developers, to create affordable housing without subsidies, we'll never solve this . . . --Brian
These comments are absolutely right on. The tax credit program does not support people who need housing the most . . . --Paul Dribin
Tenants far too often--as the recent report looking at evictions in Baltimore attests--lack legal representation and either have legal defense not raised or get pressured by the landlord's lawyer to accept an eviction. I would welcome foundation funding to have tenant legal advocates in our courts to see this results in cutting evictions, regardless of income . . . --Ray Neirinckx
