We have one of the highest per-capita homelessness rate among counties in California. 18:11:12 From Bomani Munirah To All Panelists: Munirah Bomani, Tenant Rights advocate from Newark NJ Email: mbomani4@gmail.com 18:14:31 From Linda Soderstrom To Everyone: "financially challenged", that's putting it mildly, with disability and elderli-ness making this a perfect storm. we have combination situations.... 18:14:54 From Sandra Muhammad To All Panelists: Sandra Muhammad, Newark, NJ 18:15:52 From Karen Rhodes To Everyone: Kudos to you all for your valiant efforts. But I am afraid that if the various powers-that-be do indeed sink teeth into this so that we can have a peaceable existence and not be out in the cold, …..that a lot of landlords will be even less willing to rent to us--the elderly and the disabled. 18:17:18 From Natividad Seefeld To Everyone: I so agree with that statement 18:17:19 From Bomani Munirah To All Panelists: Yes I agree 18:17:35 From Sandra Muhammad To All Panelists: How can I mute my phone? 18:17:42 From Danielle Walker To Everyone: and... affordable isn't affordable for lower income renters. 18:17:49 From Karen Rhodes To Everyone: "affordable" is a misnomer. i.e.--"affordable 'workforce' housing, for example excludes those who are extremely low income (ELI). 18:18:18 From Munsterpreneur Initiative Inc. To All Panelists: Peace and blessings to All 18:18:33 From Bomani Munirah To All Panelists: We experiencing the same issues here in Newark NJ. Affordable for who? Not for Newarkers living in poverty 18:18:41 From Karen Rhodes To Everyone: When a LIHTC property "ages out," it is always the ELI who are always displaced--which for the most part are the elderly and the disabled. 18:19:39 From Heather Nicoll To Everyone: 30% of income as affordable. most regular folks pay a much higher percentage of their income for rent or mortgage 18:20:25 From Karen Rhodes To Everyone: Well here where I live, affordable is not the same as subsidized. 18:20:43 From Linda Soderstrom To Everyone: even with a voucher, I am 40% of monthly 18:21:04 From Linda Soderstrom To Everyone: approaching 50% 18:21:25 From Christopher Benjamin To Everyone: Source of Income laws are needed. It's easier to get laws passed on the local and state level. 18:22:09 From Karen Rhodes To Everyone: Even with a voucher, I am on the brink of homelessness as a disabled senior citizen. I am filing a civil rights complaint as well getting an attorney. All I want to do is to live peaceably and be left alone by the powers-that-be. 18:22:25 From Linda Soderstrom To Everyone: agree @techno need in rural 18:22:54 From Linda Soderstrom To Everyone: Karen, where are U? 18:23:18 From Patricia Boyd To All Panelists: I definitely agree Karen 18:23:22 From Karen Rhodes To Everyone: PA 18:23:40 From Christopher Benjamin To Everyone: What area are you from? Yes it's a lot of issues with Vouchers. My City is supposed to be amending our Source of Income ordnance because landlords are telling tenants they must make three times the total rent. 18:24:04 From Danielle Walker To Everyone: I know someone who is 70 years old and on a fixed income. She was just granted a section 8 voucher but the apartment she was interested in has rent that is $100 over her voucher amount. They won't offer her the apartment because she would have to contribute $100 towards the rent and her income doesn't equal nor succeed 3 times the rent of the apartment. So unfortunate. 18:24:12 From Linda Soderstrom To Everyone: we need grassroots up, not grass tops down values 18:24:19 From Karen Rhodes To Everyone: How do I respond privately to those who are asking private questions? 18:25:36 From Karen Rhodes To Everyone: I did a project a few years back and per HUD data that I came across, I discovered that at least 59 percent, more than half of those in subsidized housing are ELDERLY/DISABLED! 18:25:48 From Christopher Benjamin To Everyone: Karen, check your laws in your area or state if you have Source of Income which includes Section 8 Vouchers. File the necessary complaints to address your issues. Also contact HUD, Housing Authority Board of Commissioners and elected officials 18:25:55 From Chris Alexander To Everyone: @Karen, it does not look like private messages have been enabled. You can only chat with host & panelists, or with Everyone. 18:26:19 From Linda Soderstrom To Everyone: not private venue Karen, but we can trade emails if you like 18:26:57 From Karen Rhodes To Everyone: CB--my situation has been ongoing for years and is much more involved. I am to the point that my only option now is to relocate yet again if ever I am to have peace and not die of a heart attack as a result of the stress brought on by landlords, contractors, etc. 18:27:09 From Bomani Munirah To All Panelists: No housing equals No Votes 18:27:59 From Karen Rhodes To Everyone: There is a LOT of bullying and harassment toward "vulnerable" tenants--elderly, disabled, financially insecure, etc. 18:28:09 From Heather Nicoll To Everyone: :) 18:28:27 From Renee Willis To Everyone: A side and B side! 😂 18:28:29 From Linda Soderstrom To Everyone: we are stronger to tell truth together, very GRATEFUL for all this organizing to white house messaging 18:28:37 From Rosine Bouobda To Everyone: AMEN Dr. Hayes-Brown!!! 18:28:41 From Deborah Olson To Everyone: Since Section 8 guarantees the rent the LL should not be using the 3 times rule. The 70 18:28:47 From S J To All Panelists: Anyone from West Virginia here? 18:28:51 From Gabby Ross To Everyone: period!! 18:29:17 From Christopher Benjamin To Everyone: Good morning and thank you for contacting HUD.  Thank you for the policy recommendation and I will share it with our housing and public housing leadership. Kimberly Danna   18:29:33 From Claudia swaney To Everyone: right on lady . 18:29:33 From Deborah Olson To Everyone: In OR 2013 CAT got the law changed that all LL had to take vouchers. 18:29:40 From Christopher Benjamin To Everyone: Low Income tenants need to stand up. 18:29:59 From Jennifer Mohawk To Everyone: Good Trouble Rocks!!! 18:30:00 From Karen Rhodes To Everyone: CB, I have been "standing up" since 1989!!!! 18:30:11 From Linda Soderstrom To Everyone: elders, vouchered, persons with disabilities being vulnerable are forced to hop around, highly mobile, can't have a life that's stable 18:31:12 From Christopher Benjamin To Everyone: Karen, please consider moving if you need to for your health and safety. Also please remember you can file a complaint with the Real Estate Commissions and Real Estate Associations as well. 18:31:22 From Karen Rhodes To Everyone: CB, ….BECAUSE I have been STANDING UP for over 30 years, this is the reason I have been forced to relocate once and probably again in the not too distant future, just to keep from becoming homeless!! 18:31:27 From Jennifer Mohawk To Everyone: Re: Linda's point on the most vulnerable - what about media publicizing any retaliatory stuff? The bad guys pretty much live & die by "what will people think?" - just an idea 18:32:09 From Deborah Olson To Everyone: I even brought in newspaper ads as evidence that the LL put that in writing and I circled everyone in RED to make it easier for the law makers could SEE them. Some ads were in gray no section 8 the law was written in 2012 and started in 2013 18:32:24 From Karen Rhodes To Everyone: My landlord just last week when I told her about my disability and related surgery, LAUGHED about it. 18:32:46 From Linda Soderstrom To Everyone: if my rent is $250 cuz my SSI is $750, then my income IS 3x the rent otherwise I would put $750+ for rent only 18:33:17 From Jennifer Mohawk To Everyone: I think all U.S. citizens would benefit from knowing which buildings are run by slumlords & who those slumlords are. 18:33:36 From Karen Rhodes To Everyone: That particular landlord who laughed in my face about my particular disability is quite the SADISTIC person toward the vulnerable. 18:34:15 From Jennifer Mohawk To Everyone: Karen, is there a way to put this on the net without you being directly involved? His name, business, etc? 18:34:20 From Christopher Benjamin To Everyone: Karen, please make sure to document incidents and do most to all communication through email. 18:34:22 From Linda Soderstrom To Everyone: without voucher ~ no food, no utils, no transpo, no other needs 18:34:28 From Karen Rhodes To All Panelists: If any of your hosts/panelists would like to reach out to me, my phone number is 301-250-3022. 18:34:34 From Deborah Olson To Everyone: THERE NEEDS TO BE A LAWSUIT 18:34:35 From Christopher Benjamin To Everyone: Pre-Eviction Assistance Guidance Inbox M  Murangi, Kaveiririrua to me, Ogletree,, MI_Webmanager Nov 14 Details Good afternoon, Mr. Benjamin, Thank you for contacting the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regarding pre-eviction assistance guidance. Our agency (HUD) provides funding to state and local governments and to nonprofit organizations who then use those resources to assist individuals and families with finding affordable housing and other supportive services, such as housing counseling. There are several resources available for those at risk of being evicted. HUD provides support to a nationwide network of Housing Counseling Agencies that assist homeowners and renters with their housing needs. HUD-certified housing counselors review a clients’ housing situation, discuss their options when it comes to buying, renting, defaults, foreclosures, credit issues, and reverse mortgages and direct them to local resources. To locate a housing counselor, please call HUD's interactive 18:34:47 From Sherrie Shivley To Everyone: We live in a HUD building and my fiancé got a job that paid a bit more than the low income limit. At first we were told that we would have to pay the fair market value for our apartment which would have been $1500. Then all of a sudden we were informed that we would have to pay 30% of our income. Our rent went from $900 to $1900. Even with his new job and my Social Security Disability we couldn't afford that. The building is in massive disrepair, Mold in the building, mushrooms growing in the hallway. I have been to the HUD person for our area, no results. I am disabled, my fiancé and I are both elderly. He is a Vietnam Veteran, there are 10 units here all of the people here are veterans or disabled. It has become progressively more unsafe and there are drugs in the building which the landlord has been made aware of but chooses to do nothing. I need to know who or how I can work as an advocate for myself and for those in this building. Everyone is at the point where they say it's just hopeless. 18:35:16 From Geraldine Collins To All Panelists: The Tenant Empowerment Bill HR Bill 4237 needs to pass because we have a lot of the language we’re speaking about tonight covers tenants protection and a way to hit slumlords in their pockets 18:35:37 From Karen Rhodes To Everyone: Christopher, I have all those bases covered. I would have gone to law school if I had the money. But a BS degree was as far as I could go without running out of money. 18:36:20 From Deborah Olson To Everyone: Have the city inspector come out and show them all the problems with your apt and they should be writing the letter to the LL to fix it or they will fine them 18:36:46 From Christopher Benjamin To Everyone: Hi Sherrie, file complaints with code enforcement, water department, fire department, and any other local or state agency that can perform inspections. You can also file complaints with the Real Estate Commission and Real Estate Association. 18:36:47 From rich c To Everyone: e'rrrr'body!! 18:37:03 From Jennifer Mohawk To Everyone: AFFH must be upheld & strengthened. 18:37:10 From Karen Rhodes To Everyone: Christopher, I can't begin to tell you how many times I have been in the courtroom over my own survival and just wanting to be left alone by landlords, etc. I am tired. I am ready to go on to my eternal destination. I cant keep living fighting for my mere existence. 18:37:20 From Sarah Hassmer To Everyone: Get ready for another affirmatively furthering fair housing comment period 18:37:31 From Danielle Walker To Everyone: Advocacy must start at the local level.

One of the opposition's favorite tactics is to separate people, make different victims think they're the only one, it's somehow their fault, etc. Bull.
