How the Housing Market For Young People Became ‘A Total Disaster’ Donald Trump's scarcity agenda is not going to solve the problem. Here's what might.

Gen Z didn’t get the same shot at affordable housing that older generations did.

But if you're a renter, you bring something powerful to the table: lived experience.

Run for office—and fight for housing policies that actually work for us.

Tina Moeinian, a 37-year-old in Littleton, Colorado, said she was let go from her job as a Department of Veterans Affairs mediator in February as part of a wave of terminations of probationary employees pushed by the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency. Although Moeinian is a nearly 10-year veteran of the federal government, a recent promotion had resulted in her probationary status, she said. A few weeks later, she decided to join a Run for Something training to learn more about seeking office. She was rehired by the VA in April, but Moeinian has since decided to pursue a seat for a nonpartisan position on her local school board this fall as another outlet for her interest in public service. The firing, she said, “felt like a wakeup call to serve in a different way.”
