An influx of new apartments and a slowdown in demand have pushed vacancy rates up and rents down. After record-high increases during the pandemic, growth in asking rents has hovered near zero since mid-2023.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low-wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." - Sotomayor
I like that Elliot is coming on, but why no Ngumoha? #LFC #YNWA #CRYLIV
Van Dijk looks off the pace today. #LFC #YNWA #CRYLIV
That Crystal Palace goal looked like it was coming. They're looking a little disjointed out there the last 15 minutes or so #LFC #YNWA #CRYLIV
Here comes MacAllister, but also Endo... interested to see who Endo is coming on for #LFC #YNWA #CRYLIV
I feel like MacAllister and Ngumoha need to come on and inject some energy #LFC #YNWA #CRYLIV
Wow Frimpong! The new guys are out to prove a point. #LFC #YNWA #CRYLIV
What a way to kick off your Liverpool career Ekitike!! #LFC #YNWA #CRYLIV

You can find @nchousing.org detailed breakdown of the #AffordableHousing and Community Development provisions in the #OBBB here. #ncpol

Ultimately, when combined with the #NCGA failure to pass a budget that includes gap financing through the Workforce Housing Loan Program, this federal increase in the #LIHTC may not even result in more units.
#OBBB #ncpol
Marginally increasing the number of units that the low income housing tax credit can produce each year while potentially stripping health care from more than 670,000 North Carolinians and cutting food assistance hurts our state.
#OBBB #AffordableHousing #ncpol
...we also know that stable housing, financial security, and opportunity for families at the lowest end of the income spectrum is about much more than housing costs.
#OBBB #AffordableHousing #ncpol
The mission of @nchousing.org is to lead a movement to ensure that every North Carolinian has a home in which to live with dignity and opportunity. What we know best is #affordablehousing policy, but...

Sen. Tillis (R) noted, this will “force the state to make painful decisions like eliminating Medicaid coverage for hundreds of thousands.” Rep @ross.house.gov (D) also noted that #OBBB "guts the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by 20%, the largest cut in our history.” #ncpol
...while these provisions are important and we would normally celebrate their passage, sadly they were included in a much larger bill that will ultimately do harm to more North Carolinians than these provisions will help.
#OBBB #LIHTC #AffordableHousing #ncpol
On July 3 Congress passed the #OBBB that included a number of affordable housing provisions, including a permanent 12.5% increase to the #LIHTC. This is a direct result of a decade of the @nchousing.org work building bipartisan support for the #AffordableHousing Credit Improvement Act. However...
