"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low-wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." - Sotomayor

I like that Elliot is coming on, but why no Ngumoha? #LFC #YNWA #CRYLIV

Van Dijk looks off the pace today. #LFC #YNWA #CRYLIV

That Crystal Palace goal looked like it was coming. They're looking a little disjointed out there the last 15 minutes or so #LFC #YNWA #CRYLIV

Here comes MacAllister, but also Endo... interested to see who Endo is coming on for #LFC #YNWA #CRYLIV

I feel like MacAllister and Ngumoha need to come on and inject some energy #LFC #YNWA #CRYLIV

Wow Frimpong! The new guys are out to prove a point. #LFC #YNWA #CRYLIV

What a way to kick off your Liverpool career Ekitike!! #LFC #YNWA #CRYLIV

I was reminded over on a different platform that on this day 18 years ago I helped deliver a baby in Morocco. #PeaceCorps #TBT #NationalService

Correction: This should read 12%, not 12.5%

You can find @nchousing.org detailed breakdown of the #AffordableHousing and Community Development provisions in the #OBBB here. #ncpol

nchousing.org/obba-impacts...

Ultimately, when combined with the #NCGA failure to pass a budget that includes gap financing through the Workforce Housing Loan Program, this federal increase in the #LIHTC may not even result in more units.

#OBBB #ncpol

Marginally increasing the number of units that the low income housing tax credit can produce each year while potentially stripping health care from more than 670,000 North Carolinians and cutting food assistance hurts our state.

#OBBB #AffordableHousing #ncpol

...we also know that stable housing, financial security, and opportunity for families at the lowest end of the income spectrum is about much more than housing costs.

#OBBB #AffordableHousing #ncpol

The mission of @nchousing.org is to lead a movement to ensure that every North Carolinian has a home in which to live with dignity and opportunity. What we know best is #affordablehousing policy, but...

#OBBB #AffordableHousing #ncpol

Sen. Tillis (R) noted, this will “force the state to make painful decisions like eliminating Medicaid coverage for hundreds of thousands.” Rep @ross.house.gov (D) also noted that #OBBB "guts the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by 20%, the largest cut in our history.” #ncpol

...while these provisions are important and we would normally celebrate their passage, sadly they were included in a much larger bill that will ultimately do harm to more North Carolinians than these provisions will help.

#OBBB #LIHTC #AffordableHousing #ncpol

On July 3 Congress passed the #OBBB that included a number of affordable housing provisions, including a permanent 12.5% increase to the #LIHTC. This is a direct result of a decade of the @nchousing.org work building bipartisan support for the #AffordableHousing Credit Improvement Act. However...

This level is higher than we experienced during Hurricane Florence. #Durham #Flooding #ClimateChange

"There's a Double Standard": Coalition Calls Out Disparities in Orange County Home Revaluation A coalition of homeowners and advocates says homes in Orange County’s Black neighborhoods are puzzlingly overvalued, leading to higher tax bills.

The century-old (1,718-square-foot, three-bed, two-bath) family home of the late Marian Cheek Jackson, for instance, was assessed to have a tax value higher than that of a swanky (3,750-square-foot, six-bed, six-and-a-half-bath) 2024 construction in the same neighborhood.

“We have to remember that the ways communities are built, roads laid out, is not an accident… thinking this is the way to be… remember this is NOT the way it has to be” Samuel Gunter, @samuelgunter.bsky.social @nchousing.org

“As we try & figure out how to make sure to make this work continue… we will have to continuously be rethinking how this work happens… on the other end of this we all will still try & figure out how to solve these issues for our communities” -Samuel Gunter @samuelgunter.bsky.social @nchousing.org
