🚨 New HUD Proposal Alert | Key Updates 🚨 In this post, Jay Harris, partner at Hudson Cook, LLP, reviews the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)’s proposed updates to the criminal history screening for rental applicants in certain HUD-assisted housing. The changes aim to ensure fairness and non-discrimination, limiting grounds for denial to a narrowed set of recent criminal history, with new clarity for individualized assessment of applicant history and the consideration of appeals. The proposed updates are designed to remove HUD-supported barriers to justice-involved residents applying to HUD-assisted housing. Learn more about the implications of these changes below.

NEW: Check out our latest project, "The Tenant Trap," a yearlong investigation into the unfair treatment of thousands of Chicago renters living in unsafe and decaying apartments while facing skyrocketing rents and a court system designed to protect the rights of landlords first. The five-part series follows groups of tenants as they try to fight for better housing conditions, only to find the courts requiring them to live up to their end of the lease contract while allowing landlords to use loopholes, delays, and excuses to avoid laws designed to make living conditions safe and habitable. https://lnkd.in/gJ3WYutV

If you've worked with me before, you'll know that I love telling stories with data. What's even better is when these stories spark a conversation, which is precisely what happened when we worked with our fantastic client, Making Moves London, on their 'Family-Friendly Index', which investigated the best areas in London for working families in 2024. If I'm honest with you – I was a little worried at first as just before we pressed live, The Sunday Times released their list of the best areas to live in the UK, naming different places in London to our research. After I flagged this with the client, they brought to the table a fantastic hook I hadn't thought of. While The Sunday Times list is good, it isn't always realistic. It includes areas in London that aren't always affordable and don't suit working families in 2024. We integrated this hook into our media pitches and, so far, have received links and press mentions on Metro, Time Out and 14 other local news outlets – just from the initial outreach. What's more, the campaign has sparked a conversation on social media, being featured on The Shade Borough's Instagram account, which has 814,000 followers. Just a single post on the story has generated 20,451 likes and 1,220 comments in four days. And we're not done yet—we will continue reangling and sharing the data to keep earning links and features for the campaign. Good digital PR earns links. Great digital PR works with the client to shape the story. Excellent digital PR does all of this and works across channel, enhances brand awareness, and creates conversations around your brand.

I have yet to meet anyone who disagrees with the need to increase the supply of affordable homeownership, yet I suspect that housing market supply-side dynamics feel inaccessible to folks like us who want to make a difference. Standard construction models and financing are entrenched to the point of tradition, making alternatives seem unlikely. I get it. Lifting the stats into the light rallies our collective concern and desire to do something, but what can we really do - particularly in the short run? It’s a hard landscape to clear. Do we need:   - better mortgage rates/ programs/marketing coverage? - increased access to viable downpayment assistance? - municipalities supporting the proliferation of middle housing? - alternative governance models (Ex. Cooperatives, etc.) - subsidy varieties with expanded utility to span financing gaps? - funders that care to understand in their bones, beyond the documents and trends, that current systems are inadequate? - legislators who use their power and talents to aid modest-income families with down-to-earth economic mobility?   Hell yes, we want them all! AND the whole lot will continue to be complex. However, I submit that without a robust housing inventory at our foundation, many of the ingenious tactics available in the modern development space remain unavailable and unable to be activated. Ultimately, our homeownership goals hinge on this fact. That's why I'm at Homestead Community Land Trust (CLT) to establish precedents that will take us into an equitable future where formerly excluded Black and brown communities can get a shot at intergenerational financial wellness and withheld rights that were intentionally protected to benefit one exclusive group. Check out CLTs and how they are one option that can be the change.

An Injustice Watch investigation reveals the stark reality for thousands of lower-income renters in Chicago, who live in unsafe buildings while facing rising rents. This yearlong examination shows that tenants frequently encounter #eviction and informal displacement while navigating a complex legal system that hinders their ability to seek assistance. The gap between #affordablehousing supply and demand has reached its widest point in a decade, with slum conditions persisting in American cities despite widespread agreement that they should not exist. This ongoing crisis is compounded by decades, even centuries, of scandals surrounding building conditions, underscoring the urgent need for action to ensure safe and dignified #housing for all.
