Their 50-year mortgage plan bombed & they won’t build housing or touch Wall Street landlords, so they’re hoping you blame your high rent on immigrants.

“There’s also so many tragic stories of people’s breadwinning family members who have been abducted. They don’t deserve to be evicted right now; it is unsafe for them. They deserve to stay in their homes.” chicagoreader.com/news/ice-eviction-moratorium-pritzker-johnson/

"What Cuomo thought was a weakness for Mamdani turned out to be a strength: Rent-stabilized apartment or not, Mamdani is, like the majority of city residents, a renter."

Rent stabilization is good.

Our sr. staff attorney Stacey Tutt spoke with the @nytimes.com Jill Terreri Ramos about how Trump’s HUD made it easier for lenders, brokers, & landlords to discriminate - including unlawfully singling out potential homebuyers based on their nation of origin, accent, or language.

Since when does Sec. Turner care about delayed maintenance? He just fired HUD's entire building inspection team.

"Scott Turner, the housing secretary, did not reject the idea." We deserve a HUD with better ideas than throwing people into camps.

Fantastic piece from our friends at @natfairhouse.bsky.social and Relman & Colfax. Proving discrimination through circumstantial or indirect evidence is an approach grounded in over half a century of case law and shouldn't be considered remotely controversial. www.americanbanker.com/opinion/redl...

If you're a furloughed Federal employee living the DC area, the Capital Area Food Bank has added extra distribution sites. Go here for more information and assistance with Maryland tenant protections and utility bill help: econaction.org/in-the-news/...

A judge has temporarily blocked the administration from carrying out these layoffs, calling it "far from normal for an administration to fire line-level civilian employees during a government shutdown as a way to punish the opposing political party."

🚨 HUD just fired its entire building-inspection team — days after a Bronx public housing collapse. No federal staff remain to oversee safety in subsidized housing nationwide.

The 2nd Monday of every October is #IndigenousPeoplesDay, because we celebrate survival, resistance, and a future beyond white supremacist systems and myths.

We need Secretary Turner to take his job seriously.

What does the shutdown mean for HUD and USDA tenants? Our deputy director Deb Thrope talked to @archpaper.com about the needless uncertainty it brings. If you’re a tenant, make sure you know your rights (info available in ENG and ESP): nhlp.org/govshutdown.

Rather than turn HUD’s website into a political ad & grandstand on cable news, maybe Sec. Turner could share info on HUD tenants’ rights & what to expect during a shutdown?

“It’s a pure attempt to intimidate and silence, and that’s the impression that they’re trying to create and the feeling that they’re trying to instill in federal workers”

A new report looks at “residual income cost burdens,” defined as “not having enough income left after paying rent to cover all other necessities.” The 2/3 of renter households that have residual cost burdens is higher than the 50% with traditional cost burdens www.planetizen.com/news/2025/10...

Grow up.

Pathetic. HUD is supposed to serve everyone—not sling partisan mud. A fully funded HUD could do so much to fix our housing crisis. Instead, leadership pulls stunts like this. We can do so much better.

Homes are supposed to be our safe havens. “So many people who are afraid of ICE enforcement, at work or at schools, are staying at home as a refuge,” NHLP's Marie Claire Tran-Leung said. HUD's collab with DHS is an attempt to weaponize HUD and the public housing authorities as tools for violence.

Trump is considering declaring a national housing emergency, while at the same time doing everything he can to destroy the federal housing programs, seize even more control, & continue his unlawful power grab. Our executive director @shamusroller.bsky.social talked to @marketwatch.com about it.

“Social housing is solidarity you can touch.”

"Housing all of Chicago’s homeless people would cost about $383k/day, [@ips-dc.org's] https://bit.ly/4lYIx87 told The Intercept, noting that the sum equaled roughly 1/4 of the expense of a deployment of 3,000 Guard members" theintercept.com/2025/09/03/trump-military-occupy-dc-la-chicago/

If anyone wants to pre-bunk the garbage this will generate, I am FULL of ideas.

According to @nlihc.org, Baltimore has only 56 affordable rental homes for every 100 very-low-income renter households.

HUD is calling for papers on “How immigration's impact on housing prices affects native fertility rates.” Looks like the work of PD&R's new Principal Dep. Asst. Secretary, John Gibbs.

"Trump & Turner are forcing public housing authorities to divert their limited resources away from affordable housing & towards wasteful policy designed to cause fear & hardship among immigrant families." -@nhlp.bsky.social's Marie Claire Tran-Leung

Trump recently signed an EO that would forcibly institutionalize our unhoused neighbors, and put more people on the streets and in prison. “It is absurd to think that ending people’s right to autonomy will end homelessness,” said NHLP's Noelle Porter to @truthout.org.
