Great meeting with the staff of @ZachNunn’s office to discuss disaster resilience and the important role of #CDBGDR in Iowa #HousersOnTheHill @EnterpriseNow
#HousersOnTheHill between meetings and showing off the cool @EnterpriseNow pen summarizing our policy priorities!
Thank you @RepSylviaGarcia for your support of #CDBGDR for affordable housing and disaster recovery!#HousersOnTheHl
On Capital Hill with @EnterpriseNow making the case for critical housing and community development programs like #CDBGDR #HousersOnTheHill
The longer version of my tweet from earlier today, published on the @EnterpriseNow blog.
NEW: Today @uscensusbureau released data showing that, for the first time since 2015, more than half of American renters say they are struggling to pay housing costs. As our @RachelBDrew writes, it's a tragic reversal in affordability trends. enterprisecommunity.org/blog…
New @uscensusbureau data out today confirms what millions of renters already know - rental affordability worsened during the pandemic, with the share spending at least 30% of income on housing rising to over half of all renters. @EnterpriseNow @E_HousingPolicy
The share spending at least half their income on housing, meanwhile, was up to 26%, another 6-year high. These data are the first American Community Survey results since 2019 to show the extent of renter affordability challenges nationally.

The administration’s #Housing Supply Action Plan’s legislative #zoning reform proposals could work, but they have to be designed and implemented properly. Learn more in my @EnterpriseNow blog post on unlocking possibilities through zoning reform: enterprisecommunity.org/blog…
Excited for my (virtual) meetings today with members of @EnterpriseNow's Southeast market! @E_HousingPolicy #EnterpriseLegislativeDay
Today is #EnterpriseLegislativeDay!
Follow our policy team @E_HousingPolicy all day (and every day) to hear about our top priorities that we'll be presenting to two dozen legislative offices today!

The rise in shelter costs is even more remarkable given the index captures average monthly occupancy costs, which for most households (with leases/mortgages) don't change month-to-month - so only a small # of households is driving that change @EnterpriseNow @E_HousingPolicy
NEW: The @USDOL this morning released consumer price index data, showing consumer prices rose 8.5 percent -- shelter costs are a major part of the CPI basket, and are up 5 percent year over year. cnbc.com/2022/04/12/consumer…
Latest #PARE post is out! In it, @FloraArabo and I discuss how a return to pre-pandemic 'normal' means a return to high eviction rates for BIPOC renter households, and what actions are needed to prevent this, for @E_HousingPolicy @EnterpriseNow

It is always exciting when a new @Harvard_JCHS report comes out, though I have a soft spot especially for the #rentalhousingreport (having been the lead author of the first two of them). jchs.harvard.edu/calendar/am…

A new white paper from @RachelBDrew, research director with @EnterpriseNow Policy Development and Research team, shows that more than half of all U.S. counties experienced a net-loss of housing units between 2010 and 2020 enterprisecommunity.org/reso…
I've been lax lately about announcing additions to the @E_HousingPolicy Policy Actions for Racial Equity (#PARE) blog series - here are three recent contributions by the amazing staff @EnterpriseNow, plus a question for interested readers on the future of the series /1
Last week was also the anniversary of the #PARE series, with 12 blogs produced in 12 months on the racial equity implications of various housing policies. I'm so proud of and grateful to my @EnterpriseNow colleagues for their contributions and support of this effort! /5
Going into Year 2, I'm interested to know what other housing policy topics folks would like to see featured in the #PARE series? Comment below or DM me with suggestions! /End
