I now live in a place without any rent control and my clients are being forced out because landlords are raising the rent by more than 20%, these tenants have no where to go and are being forced from their communities #tenantscantwait
(((Matthew Lewis))) progressive federalism SOS I have always found anti-voucher sentiment among some activists perplexing. They'll say, 'lots of market rate landlord won't accept vouchers,' which is true. But many landlords *do*, and vouchers provide recipients with something deed-restricted units can't offer: portability.
'I either had to go to the hospital and be seen or pay my rent.'
