Struggling to pay rent impacts every aspect of life. The National Tenants Bill of Rights offers a roadmap for tenant protections to address power imbalances and housing instability. Learn more in our new blog post: tinyurl.com/4n4uunjv
[TBOR] "guarantees stable rents and healthy, safe homes, and requires evictions to be for just cause only. It also prohibits discriminatory, expensive rental applications and protects tenants’ right to organize." Great story, @FranQuigley! jacobin.com/2024/07/tenants-…

❗️The Supreme Court just ruled to make it easier to jail or fine unhoused people for sleeping outside, even when adequate shelter or housing isn’t available.
This will only make homelessness worse.
Housing - not tickets, jail, or fines - ends homelessness.

Here's how you can take action:
➡️Urge your elected officials to support real solutions to homelessness: p2a.co/quyh2lz

"This cruel, misguided ruling will only worsen homelessness. It gives cover to elected officials who choose political expediency over real solutions by merely moving unhoused people out of public view rather than working to solve their homelessness," - @dianeyentel

BREAKING: SCOTUS gets it wrong and rules that homeless ppl are not included in the Constitution's protections against cruel and unusual punishment. We must be clear: this will make homelessness worse.
Shame on SCOTUS.

Over 114 million people rent in our country. Tenants deserve basic protections in a predatory housing market that lets corporate landlords exploit them. That’s why we launched the National Tenants Bill of Rights with @NLIHC and the Tenant Union Federation.

During the 2020 debates, following months of advocacy from @NLIHC @OurHomesVotes, the moderators asked a question about affordable housing for the first time in history.
Tonight, home prices & the need to address skyrocketing rents came up in the FIRST QUESTION!!!
❗️First Q at #PresidentialDebate: what about high prices, like groceries & home prices!
@POTUS: “We’re going to make sure we reduce the price of housing. We’re going to build 2 million units. We going to make sure we CAP RENTS so corporate greed can’t take over.”
