That is why the national low income housing alliance always represented in dollar amounts 18:36:58 From Karen Rhodes to Everyone: Most of any new affordable housing is done with LIHTC funds? Are they building any new public housing? 18:36:59 From William Higgins to Everyone: https://www.chomhousing.org/phoenix-flats 18:37:07 From Linda Soderstrom to Everyone: We drove Mr G. Russ/RAD right on out of Minnesota.

We as buyer keep the equity once buying. The buyer pays 1/3, HUD still pays 2/3 mortgage. 18:39:58 From Karen Rhodes to Everyone: Kimberly Comes--Get your phone out and do a video with sound when all this is happening. 18:40:15 From Florence Randolph to Everyone: Please provide a list of the links being provided in the chat.

LOL! When I was forced to relocate to another state, I paid all the moving costs myself--almost $4000 worth--just to keep from becoming homeless and losing my voucher. 18:44:09 From Ramona Ferreyra to Everyone: Replying to "Displacement applies..."

Similar things happen in college tuition. Private colleges work to attract students whose tuition is paid with public scholarships. And then there are large corporates like the Waltons who pay low wages because they know that their workforce is partly subsidized by Public Assistance. 18:45:56 From Rachel Johnson to Everyone: Most times there is no access to these housing programs at the Housing Authorities... Know your rights before going in these spaces 18:46:27 From Damon Blanchard to Everyone: Housing as a right is what it should be 18:47:03 From Sid Betancourt, NLIHC (she/they) to mrs brown(Direct Message): Replying to "I had unmuted the sa..."

It can't be but it's the Public housing tenants that must dispute and show the violation to HUD field Rep, our congressperson and complaint if applicable in that order 18:49:41 From Ramona Ferreyra to Everyone: Replying to "There is something s..." YES! This is what charters do with education. Charters provide the infrastructure for tax savings. So urban underfunded zones are inundated with charters and districts with ample funding have vibrant public schools. 18:49:43 From Karen Rhodes to Everyone: ….and DB.....THAT is the reason why there is so much homelessness in this country. 18:49:49 From Lauren Song to Everyone: If you have complaints re: RAD here is a HUD contact whom you can contact: Damainique Bruce, Recapitalization Program Specialist, Office of Recapitalization, Resident Engagement and Protections Team, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office: 202-402-2549 Mobile: 339-440-6441 18:49:57 From Ramona Ferreyra to Everyone: Reacted to "That's because hud i..." with πŸ’œ 18:50:07 From Chris Alexander to Everyone: Thanks for that perspective Mrs. Brown.

All power to the people! 18:50:58 From Monica DeLancy to Everyone: Hi great job with your presentation I’m in Cobb county Georgia and most of residents who use section 8 vouchers reside on private multi family complexes and not on housing authority property I want to ask do property owners are required to host 2 meetings a year in private multi family complexes 18:51:03 From vee sanchez to Everyone: I think one question I have is, what can be done after all the public housing in a community (such as is the case in Springfied MO), once they have entered into RAD conversion process? (there were about 700 units - all the cities public housing - that is being converted in 3 phases). Another question is, what do you tell tenants that are living in horrible housing conditions when RAD becomes an option? Esp when there is no other option on the horizon that will provide the capital to renovate their homes? 18:51:39 From Ramona Ferreyra to Everyone: Replying to "Homeownership is the..." Not for all of us. I have no interest in owning. I also don’t have the financial capacity to own a home. 18:51:41 From Damon Blanchard to Everyone: We as reg citizens can shut this whole country down if we all decided to just stop spending 18:51:50 From Christopher Benjamin to Everyone: Tenants can do their best to save money, buy land and go and buy a trailer and get a RV or Camper. 18:51:51 From kafi dixon to Everyone: Reacted to "Tenants can do their..." with πŸ‘ 18:51:56 From kafi dixon to Everyone: Removed a πŸ‘ reaction from "Tenants can do their..." 18:52:01 From kafi dixon to Everyone: Reacted to "We as reg citizens c..." with πŸ‘ 18:52:11 From Damon Blanchard to Everyone: Reacted to "There is something s..." with πŸ‘ 18:52:13 From vee sanchez to Everyone: Reacted to "Not for all of us.
