Reduced recidivism rates are often used to evaluate a housing program’s success. @Libbywd explores why we should rethink recidivism as a measure of success & what alternatives researchers should consider. urbn.is/3ggHa5t

#BuildBackBetter would add about 300,000 new #housing vouchers, which is an important step to reducing #homelessness.
Some have suggested that providing rental assistance to more families will drive up rents, but the research suggest the opposite.

1/ We all know that VT has an acute housing crisis, which has only been compounded by the pandemic.
The average VTer needs to earn $23.68 per hour to afford a two-bedroom unit; however, the average renter in VT earns only $13.83 per hour.

This study found that school choice generates a “parenting tax” that reinforces disadvantage, rather than creating more equitable access to high-quality schools. urbn.is/3o64RTb

There's enough money in the #BuildBackBetter plan to dramatically expand the availability of safe, decent and affordable housing. We can't allow Congress to squander this opportunity, as @dianeyentel and Nan Roman of @naehomelessness say in today's op-ed. thehill.com/blogs/congress-b…

Fact of the Week: Emergency Rental Assistance Program Reaches Nearly 1.4 Million Renters

We are at a CRITICAL moment as Congress decides what to cut from the Build Back Better Act. We CAN END homelessness - but only if Congress targets $$ where it's needed most. Tell Congress to fully fund housing solutions for America's lowest-income &most marginalized households!
The National Coalition for Housing Justice calls on Congress to not turn its back on housing in the Build Back Better Act.
Any spending cuts to the package must not come at the expense of proven solutions to America’s housing and homelessness crisis

People are experiencing first-time homelessness, who six months ago was doing fine. Rent increases of 20% or more are making life difficult for low-income tenants in many cities, just as eviction bans and unemployment relief are running out. bloom.bg/3uHKwVg

The House Financial Services Committee released legislative language as part of the economic recovery package includes historic investments in key affordable #housing programs.
It would make rents affordable for as many as a 1 million more people.
