Catch me on LBC catchup talking to Shelagh Fogarty on LBC yesterday talking about the governments nonsense plan to limit social housing to British people. Besides ignoring the fact that its nigh-on impossible for a migrant to get social housing in the first place, this is just a gigantic admission of failure by the government, scapegoating people who aren't responsible for the housing emergency for the governments total failure to build enough genuinely affordable social homes. We've lost over 200,000 social rented homes in the last 10 years - thanks to sales and demolitions and that's the only cause of the housing emergency. The government needs to get on and build the 90,000 social rented homes a year this country needs and stop trying to deflect blame for it's poor choices. https://lnkd.in/eKYxNMW5 You can read more about these plans at the Guardian: https://lnkd.in/esnXipxk

Next month, I am off to DC to #advocate conference with the National Apartment Association on behalf of housing. I specifically say housing because that is my passion when it comes to being part of the housing industry. If you are heading to the conference as well, let me know if I can help you out with any questions if you are a first time attendee. If you aren't attending, what can I say on your behalf when I meet with Representatives and Senators along with their staff at our meetings? What are your current struggles and focuses? #naasmac #naahq #multifamily

For today's #BlackHistoryMonth fact, we are focusing on New Britain, home to one of our newest clinics, and soon to be, home to our FIRST residential clinic! So, let's talk about, The Underground Railroad... It was developed in the early 19th century, and was a system of safe havens designed to help fugitive slaves escape to freedom. In New England, numerous towns and cities provided safe havens for those escaping slavery. One of the Underground Railroad’s most vital New England routes went through what is now the city of New Britain. In the 1840s and ’50s, New Britain was an important center of anti-slavery activity. Fugitive slaves who entered the state in Stamford, New Haven, and Old Lyme worked their way through New Britain, Farmington, and Middletown on their way to Canada. Of the 22 identified Underground Railroad agents in Hartford County at this time, nine were residents of New Britain. As the two sides of the slavery issue continued sparring, The First Church in New Britain passed anti-slavery resolutions, abolitionists and non-abolitionists clashed at local anti-slavery meetings, and non-abolitionists set fire to barns belonging to New Britain abolitionists. Despite a century and a half of work, historians still struggle to put together a concise narrative of the Underground Railroad in Connecticut. The clandestine nature of the system meant that participants left behind little evidence of Underground Railroad activities. Therefore, identifying specific homes or safe houses that contributed to the movement has been exceedingly difficult. One thing that cannot be questioned, however, is that New Britain and the surrounding area played an important part in aiding fugitive slaves in their quest for freedom. #BLM
