200,000 affordable housing units will revert to market rate in the next five years as low income housing tax credits elapse. But that doesn't cover units we'll lose as companies opt out of the program.

Even then, an attorney at the Heartland Center says more oversight is needed on the process.

Springfield tenants sue property owners in effort to maintain affordable housing credits Tenants of Cedarwood Terrace and Rosewood Estates filed lawsuits May 27 alleging apartment owners didn't follow the law when leaving the program.

A tenants union in Springfield, Missouri is taking their landlords to court to protect their affordable housing under LIHTC, claiming they broke the law by opting out of the subsidies without notifying residents.

At this point it’s been said in a hundred different ways, so I think people are being intentional about not getting it.

i love every librarian and archivist, you're beautiful angels and keepers of knowledge, please scan every document directly into my mind

a masked, gloved farm worker with all skin covered is using a long-handled clipper to cut pumpkins from their ground level vines

Esteban was working in muddy, wet fields cutting these pumpkins from their vines. It was warm, but you’ll note he is entirely covered, including a mask. Pumpkin vines have very irritating hairlike fibers that can become embedded in the skin, eyes and respiratory system.

I wish these videos played in every grocery store.

To remind us all of the work to grow the food, truck the food, stage the food in pretty piles.
