Everyone deserves an affordable home, including our neighbors, friends, & coworkers who are immigrants. But a Trump Admin plan would take assistance away from certain immigrant families and create additional barriers to rental assistance for everyone. propublica.org/article/trump-…

New Census data show the median rent rose 5.8% from 2023 to 2024 while renters’ incomes grew just 5.3%, adding to a persistent gap; rental assistance lifted 2.1M people out of poverty but far too few get help: cbpp.org/blog/analyzing…

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.

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…

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

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…

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

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.
