Trump's housing plan would slash long term assistance and put nearly 200,000 people at risk of losing their homes. Cutting vouchers is a cruel political choice.

The proposed #HUD budget cuts federal rental assistance by 43%! This would strip vital support for low-income renters, seniors, and people with disabilities at a time when housing costs and homelessness are growing. This is unacceptable.

Pasadena found 480 units where landlord-reported rent hikes didn’t match the city registry. The Rental Housing Board needs to make sure that landlords are complying with the city’s rent cap law.

Tenants are powerful! A tenant union gives renters the collective strength to win safe homes, fair treatment, and accountability. Good for the tenants at @columbiauniversity.bsky.social!

Tenants in East Oakland are suing landlord Darrick Chavis after he tried to push out long-term residents with intimidation, buyout pressure, and immigration threats. This is why strong tenant protections matter!

Social movements are powerful when the people in them are supported. Building tenant power means building cultures of care, rest, and sustainability—not burnout.

Tenants at a UC Santa Cruz apartment building are suing over harassment, mold issues, and steep rent hikes. This is a publicly owned building and it’s completely unacceptable to be treating tenants like this, and to be squeezing them for profits.

An apartment manager in Santa Clara County is accused of using tenants’ personal data to open credit cards. This kind of abuse is just another example of why strong tenant protections and enforcement matter.

California has spent $17 million to guard dozens of vacant homes in LA —homes that sit idle while people are unhoused and rents soar. Wouldn't it make more sense to turn these properties into social housing instead? 🤷🏽‍♀️

The former Umeya cracker factory in LA has been transformed into 175 units of deeply affordable, permanent supportive housing—honoring cultural history while creating homes with dignity and care. We love to see it!

Affordable housing production in California is barely moving even though @gavinnewsom.bsky.social pledged to jump-start the process years ago. We need places people can actually afford to live, not just more promises.

Big applause to the new tenants union at Idaho’s Elevate Eagle mobile home community—the state’s first-ever tenant union of its kind! When mobile-home park residents organize, it’s a win for every renter!

Tenants in Chicago are rising up, unionizing and launching rent strikes across neighborhoods from Rogers Park to Logan Square as rents surge and corporate landlords fuel displacement. Our movement for housing justice is nationwide and growing!

Tenants are fighting back! Across 4 states, hundreds are joining the Tenant Union Federation to take on mega-landlord Capital Realty Group—demanding collective bargaining and better conditions in private-equity-owned housing. This is resistance in action.

Months after the fires, some families in Pacific Palisades & Altadena still haven’t returned home. Many are now facing impossible choices. Housing justice means rebuilding, not leaving survivors behind in the recovery.

Tenants across the U.S. just made history by launching the first-ever rent debt strike against a corporate landlord. Resistance is our right when the human right to housing is in jeopardy and debt is used to trap renters! ✊

Starting on January 1, no more “bring your own fridge” rentals! A new law now requires landlords across CA to provide functioning refrigerators and stoves. Cooking and storing food are not perks or "nice to haves", they’re necessities!
