For @scientistsorg I wrote about why, just as we have a national unemployment rate, if America wants to get serious about stemming our #housing crisis then we need a National Housing Loss Rate. Read here: fas.org/publication/america-…

We were just denied entry to USAID. We’re not done fighting back. Tune in as we discuss the next steps: xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1mnxeANRe…
So much love on @slashrundc final night ❤️. Sure you can't renew that lease?!? @petworthdcnews
Goosebumps, watching @AOC and @TinaSmithMN discuss their new #HOME Act that squarely positions housing as a #humanright and provides real action on making housing affordable for all.

For Main Street 🇺🇸, housing is where #climate impacts will be felt first and worst. Its no accident that at yesterday's debate @KamalaHarris tied climate to rising 🏠insurance rates and people losing homes after disaster. Here's our blog on the link: newamerica.org/future-land-h…
Its no accident that when asked about #climatechange, the two examples @KamalaHarris gave were: 1. ⬆️ home insurance prices, 2. ppl losing their 🏠 after disasters. Because for mainstream America our home is where we will feel the first and worst climate impacts.
Caliber of conversation at #futuresecurityforum was just mind blowing. One of those days I feel starstruck working at @NewAmerica . Photo here of @SlaughterAM and @peterbergencnn on what a #Harris foreign policy might look like. One of many great panels. watch the livestream ⬇️

iven the vast disparities in #AI power between the rich world & developing countries, closing the AI governance divide will be no easy task. Read @GordonLaForge's piece in @techpolicypress to learn more: techpolicy.press/the-dangers…
In FL today and an Orlando homeless services provider told me this: 75% of inflow are first-time homeless. Most are senior citizens. Most are coming not bc evictions but bc lease non-renewals/raised rent. Orlando tried to pass cap on rent ⤴️but FL legislature preempted it.
In which we articulate a three part strategy to get 20 million climate-vulnerable Americans to safer ground, by 2100. shelterforce.org/2024/08/06/…
A perfect example for why we so desperately need #eviction #data. Check out this fantastic and troubling report on MI evictions, below.
Care about evictions? I want to draw attention to some timely, exciting, and troubling empirical analysis about evictions in Michigan which was just released, to give it the attention it deserves ... @evictionlab @ps_hepburn @emilyabenfer @cgershenson @lssc_mi @MAdvocacyP
Domestic #climatemigration is already underway. But millions of Americans are moving to cities that are exposed to higher risk of extreme heat, flooding and hurricanes. We need a plan to turn them around, now. @t_robo17 and I outline how, for @CityLab.

SCOTUS overrules its 1984 decision in #Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, which held that courts should defer to an agency’s reasonable interpretation of an ambiguous statute. Welcome to silly season ...

13. Put your insights front & center! Developing a dash Is 95% of the work, but the utility is in the last 5%: converting analysis into insights (When do evictions peak? Which neighborhood has the highest rates? Etc). Do this work for your users, put it where they can see it.
14. Invest in communicating insights. Just because a dashboard is released does not mean it’ll be used. The splashy release is just the start. Dashboards must be continuously socialized. Plan for a comprehensive outreach plan, and rinse & repeat each time you have a data update.
10. Even “Clean” Data Will Require Significant Effort to Prepare for Analysis. Just know this. Build it into your timeline. Expect to have to go back to the courts several times to clarify data structure, tags, definitions, etc.
11. Don't analyze your data without a housing expert. Seemingly small differences can be very meaningful. E.g. Foreclosures involve multiple court filings over a many month period. How do you know at which point a foreclosure has “happened”? A local housing expert can tell you.
9. Municipalities can and should work together. A data sharing agreement one county develops with the state supreme court can likely be used other counties. A dashboard created in one county can be a template for other counties.
6. ✨Understand That Courts Often Lack the Capacity and Incentives to Provide Public Court Data ✨This is the🔑to the data access puzzle. Providing data is difficult and annoying, and it's not the court’s core mandate. Understanding this is critical to figuring out your approach.
