Text of an Executive Order stating the "non-statutory components and functions of the [Treasury Department's Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund] shall be eliminated to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law, and [the CDFI Fund] shall reduce the performance of their statutory functions and associated personnel to the minimum presence and function required by law..."

I oversaw the CDFI Fund while at the Treasury Department. The White House Executive Order gutting CDFI Fund is wrong and short-sighted.

CDFIs are mission-driven lenders that deliver critical investments in low-income communities, including a lot of rural communities in Republican-leaning states.

Georgia Only: Please Vote Against HB 183 Please tell your state general assembly member to vote against HB 183, which would put vulnerable families living in extended-stay motels at a higher risk of facing homelessness.

The cruelty — & the profit — are the point. Extended stay motel operators in Georgia want to expel residents more quickly.

If you are in GA please contact your state legislators to vote against HB 183, which would make it easier to expel families from motels.

Sharing my first post here. I joined Twitter back in the day to hear from peers in urban planning, housing, for forward thinking research + ideas + discussions. Happy to see some familiar names and new ones here - need this community to keep pushing here in metro ATL!

Not sure if you are including regional planners but that’s me

IZ seems to work best in areas of high amenities and with incentives. Seems like fee-for-every unit (ie impact fees) could disincentivize missing middle and favor SF development, but haven’t seen any research on this.
