DID YOU KNOW? Each April, HUD recognizes Fair Housing Month alongside communities, fair housing advocates, and fair housing organizations to underscore the significance of the Fair Housing Act, raise public awareness of fair housing rights and responsibilities, highlight fair housing enforcement efforts, and emphasize the importance of creating diverse and inclusive communities. #fairhousing #education #awareness #housingrights #apartments #apartmentlife #multifamily #rentalhousing #aaco

The "Keep Floridians Housed Act," HB 985, introduced by Rep. Eskamani and Sen. Torres, is a comprehensive housing reform aimed at supporting Florida renters amidst a housing crisis. It emphasizes tenant needs over landlord and developer interests, contrasting Gov. DeSantis' approach. Key elements include strengthening tenant protections, outlawing predatory landlord practices, reducing initial rental costs, reforming eviction laws for fairness, promoting housing affordability, and offering special provisions for victims of domestic and sexual violence. The act also proposes an executive agency for housing and tenant laws and a pathway for eviction record sealing. Let’s go! Agree or disagree with what we said?

I'm happy to share my first webinar appearance (right at the one-hour mark) to discuss SchoolHouse Connection's support of the #EvictionCrisisAct, a bipartisan legislative initiative that will soon be reintroduced in the United States Senate by Senators Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Todd Young (R-IN). The Eviction Crisis Act is a major policy proposal that will dramatically impact the national housing crisis and support millions of low-income and middle class Americans, including many children and youth. Specifically, this legislation will create a new permanent emergency rental assistance program to reduce preventable evictions, limit the devastation to families when eviction is unavoidable, and shed light on the root causes of the eviction crisis. Sign-up to SHC's e-news to get alerted when this legislation is reintroduced and for ways you can raise this issue with your Senators.
