Landlords are going on a capital strike, holding thousands of units vacant while homelessness reaches Great Depression era levels. Clearly a profit driven system will never solve the housing crisis. We need social housing and tenant control.

There are folks who are experiencing homelessness and have a job. Having a job is not some magical title that makes everyone upper-middle class. Telling our unhoused neighbours to “just get a job” is ridiculous.

There are 61,000 SF housing units, rentals included, that are sitting empty on any given day for one of a variety of reasons, and putting even a fraction of these into service as supportive housing would solve homelessness in the city overnight. https://t.co/Uc3L0owoNP

The Biden Administration Issues A New Eviction Moratorium After A Federal Ban Lapsed

I’m calling on @POTUS to extend the eviction moratorium.

I’m calling on @SpeakerPelosi to reconvene the House for a vote.

I’m calling on @SenSchumer to extend the eviction moratorium in the Senate.

We control the House, Senate, and White House. We must keep people housed.

The Supreme Court DID NOT rule on or even take up the case on the legality of the CDC eviction moratorium. Every minute wasted means another family could be forced onto the streets. Biden, #ExtendTheMoratorium now!

Biden expected to announce new federal eviction moratorium, covering 90% of renters and targeting counties with high rates of coronavirus infections.

#IStandWithTheMoms because policies enabling gentrification & inequality have helped speculators destroy communities across the Bay Area – pushing 1000s of residents into homelessness. We must stand against unjust laws & stand behind those taking action to house themselves. https://t.co/nXYWnue7pJ

They have to use this much force not to overwhelm a small group of unarmed women, but to reinforce that housing is a commodity and that anyone who challenges capital has to be destroyed #IStandWithTheMoms https://t.co/dyuYc8Pejp

Housing discrimination on Long Island and beyond

1/ Newsday has just published a damning account of persistent housing discrimination on Long Island, using matched white and non-white customers, a time-honored practice. This is must-reading for everyone who wants to understand race and segregation today. https://t.co/o5Jv5N5pLu

See on Scoop.it – Community Village Daily

The freewheeling opportunity associated with 20th-century California was not available to black residents, and that exclusion reverberates in our neighborhoods and communities today.
