My brother Andrew has been fortunate to live in a subsidized apt. for people with disabilities in PVD where he has access to transit and activities. Affordable homes help people have independence and stability. Everyone should have this, this is why I do what I do 💪🏻🏡 HomesRI

“There’s so many benefits when families have access to safe, stable housing,” says K. Joseph Shekarchi “we HAVE to work together. We are making progress because of the advocacy in this room.”

Our Office joined HomesRI, K. Joseph Shekarchi, Valarie Lawson, Cherie Cruz, @MackDistrict6, & advocates to address the critical need for safe, healthy, & affordable homes. It is absolutely essential that the rental registry is properly implemented, & we will continue to fight for it.

Great to have (my representative!) Speaker Joe Shekarchi participate in our legislative event yesterday to highlight housing priorities and deliver a strong message about the continued work we need to do collaboratively to keep making progress on addressing our housing needs.

Advocacy works!🦾🎉 Thank you to K. Joseph Shekarchi, House Finance, + many champions in Rhode Island House of Representatives for increasing proposed $100M Housing Bond to $120M. Building more affordable homes + creating welcoming communities is one of the single best investments we can make as a state. 1/4

It was wonderful to see so many faces of folks dedicated to uplifting affordable housing at the Housing Network of Rhode Island Annual Mtg, including my own Rep. + housing champion Joe Shekarchi who took time out of his busy schedule to swing by. Proud to be part of the team!

Proud to endorse this federal Tenant Bill of Rights as an individual and have my org Housing Network of Rhode Island endorse as well. Tenant protections are a vital piece of redressing the housing crisis in addition to building more homes. You can too: p2a.co/ABmOGUB National Low Income Housing Coalition HomesRI

❗️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.

It's important that remain focused as a state on the two most effective solutions to this: 1) building more homes, 2) increasing incomes. 🏡💸
