Students are struggling because working families are struggling. The answer is affordable housing and fair wages. Now let's talk about how we get there. tinyurl.com/y44bc373

The first affordable housing project in Palm Springs in more than a decade is nearing completion as city leaders double their investment in it approving millions more in funding due to cost overruns. Jake Ingrassia has the latest on the Monarch Apartment Homes kesq.com/top-stories/20…

More than 500 people applied for the 60 units in this new Palm Springs affordable housing development. Clearly the need is there! Can't wait to see Monarch done and people moving in. The Desert Sun City of Palm Springs

The median household income in the Coachella Valley fell between 2010 and 2020. At the same time, we all know housing is more expensive. It's time for hard conversations about the meaningful changes needed to solve this growing crisis. tinyurl.com/y44bc373

We can’t say enough about how important Coachella Valley Housing Coalition and Low Income Investment Fund (LIIF) have been to the progress on our collective goal of building more affordable housing units in the Coachella Valley. We were happy to celebrate our fifth birthday with them.

Home prices and rents in our state are some of the most expensive in the nation, and we have one of the highest rates of homelessness. We need to get the cost of housing under control and raise people’s incomes so more of us can dream big like #Barbie . #barbiemovie

The reality here is that the workers who trim palm trees and clean pools for #Barbie and gang are priced out. The average rent for a 2-bedroom is $2,500, so a family needs to earn close to $100k per year after taxes – well above the city’s median household income. #barbiemovie

The Section 14 Survivors are making the Coachella Valley a better place by forcing us to acknowledge the hard truths of our history. We are honored to partner with them and were happy to have members join us to celebrate Lift to Rise’s fifth birthday. #section14 #palmsprings

Grateful to have had Anna Lisa Vargas, her family, and the Resident Leadership Table by our side as we celebrated Lift to Rise's 5th birthday! The Resident Leadership Table, which Anna Lisa chairs, is a key component of our community engagement efforts. lifttorise.org/resident-leade…

This is progress in Palm Springs, but the scale of the housing affordability crisis requires bolder action. The city could direct even more transient occupancy tax (TOT) money to housing projects without burdening residents or visitors. The Palm Springs Post : tinyurl.com/32ta82ub
