According to Eviction Lab, Clark County Nevada has one of the highest eviction rates in the country. There have been 190,133 filings since March 2020, higher than some states’ totals. We can get to the root of this problem by increasing Southern NV’s federal housing vouchers.

Denver County had 1,641 eviction filings in August. That’s 3,700 people who faced a lawsuit trying to remove them from their home. We cant solve homelessness if we can’t stop a historic (and growing) number of evictions.

It's wild that Minneapolis is held up as this housing mecca when the data doesn't suggest that at all. The only households beteween 2017-2022 that saw decreases in inflation-adjusted rents were renters above median income while the lowest income renters saw their rents go up 14%

Tenants have authorized the first-ever coordinated rent strikes across federally-financed properties. The strikes target the landlords and the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the regulator. The tenants demand national rent caps, new ownership, bargained leases.
