The Trump Admin’s proposal to cut off rental assistance after 2 years would risk eviction & homelessness for over 3M people, including 1.7M children, in households that still can’t afford rent. Everyone needs a safe, stable place to call home: cbpp.org/research/housi…
House Republicans are proposing a major cut to housing vouchers that would result in more homelessness & evictions. Congress should be expanding rental assistance to help more people afford housing, not cutting it just weeks after passing trillions in tax cuts for the wealthy.
Milwaukee renters using Section 8 housing vouchers still face discrimination, report finds jsonline.com/story/news/loc…
More about our report and interactive map on where households with rental assistance live: cbpp.org/blog/new-repor…
In our new analysis & interactive map of the 100 largest metro areas, we examine how racial & economic segregation impact where people w/ rental assistance live. More rental assistance, and other housing policy changes, are key to expanding housing choice:cbpp.org/research/housi…
Resource alert! We updated our state-by-state housing fact sheets, which cover trends related to housing hardship and show how federal #RentalAssistance helps people afford housing in every state. Some takeaways (🧵): cbpp.org/research/feder…
Homelessness has risen sharply since 2023, and federal policymakers must act — maintaining and expanding rental assistance is essential to reduce homelessness and housing instability. Cuts to funding or ineffective policies will worsen the crisis. cbpp.org/blog/rising-ho…
While the new President & Congress won’t take office until January, their agenda & record make clear they will try to make it harder for people who are struggling to afford rent, worsen discrimination, & undercut effective efforts to address #homelessness.
New data out this week shows that since 2001, rent has increased by 23.4 percent while renters’ incomes have risen only 5.3 percent, after adjusting for inflation. Millions of people with the lowest incomes pay 50% or more of their income on rent. #housing

NEW LIVE BLOG ENTRY: New Census Data Show Widening Income-Rent Gap and Increased Impact of Rental Assistance #CensusDataDay cbpp.org/blog/analyzing…
Housing is a basic human need, but stable housing is out of reach or hard to keep for too many people. Let’s be clear: This is a policy choice, not an economic inevitability. We can solve homelessness if we address the gap between incomes and rent. cbpp.org/research/housi…
We all need a safe place to call home. In our new @CenterOnBudget blog, @PeggyBaileyDC and I explain that we can solve #homelessness if we address its primary driver: the gap between incomes and rents. cbpp.org/blog/solutions…
Jailing/fining people for sleeping outside is not the solution to rising levels of homelessness—housing is. Expanding rental assistance can help close the widening gap between incomes and rents. More from @PeggyBaileyDC and @AnnaKBailey cbpp.org/blog/solutions…
Yesterday, @CenterOnBudget submitted an amicus brief along with @LawyersComm and @NLIHC to the U.S. Supreme Court in support of protecting the rights of unhoused people who have nowhere else to go and are just trying to survive. @homeless_law #JohnsonVGrantsPass
▶️ WATCH @PeggyBaileyDC: "As a nation, we have spent too long blaming and punishing people for being poor, for not having a home, for being evicted, and for struggling to pay their bills."
Renters incomes can't keep up with rising rents. Constraining rent costs, stopping egregious fees by landlords, increasing access to rental assistance, and building more units to meet demand are exactly what's needed so people have a safe affordable place to live. #CBPPSOTU
Hats off to @PeggyBaileyDC for her testimony before the @SenateBudget. Her insights are invaluable in shaping policies to address the housing affordability crisis. Read full the testimony: cbpp.org/research/housi…
But the pandemic relief has largely expired, and lawmakers failed to replace it with sustained investments to bridge the gap between incomes and rent. The consequences are that evictions have been on the rise, and now #homelessness is surging.
🧵New @HUDgov data shows #homelessness hit unprecedented levels in 2023, increasing by 12% compared to 2022. 650,000+ people: parents, kids, grandparents, uncles & aunts, members of our families–homeless in the richest nation on earth. Truly unacceptable! nlihc.org/news/nlihc-nae…
A recent @CatoInstitute research brief by Seth J. Hill claims higher minimum wages worsens homelessness, but closer examination reveals methodological problems and overstated findings that should be interpreted with extreme caution. cato.org/research-brief…
