Newsy newsletter alert

An especially juicy NLIHC Memo to Members is out currently, with detailed analysis on last week's TT/HUD appropriations markup and an editorial responding to Wall Street Journal criticisms of the HR 1461 affordable housing proposal (q.v. below). Also, the Census Bureau's approach to counting prisoners; comments on HUD's rent-setting formulas; college students in public housing, and a detailed data page comparing HUD's "Fair Market Rent" estimates from 2004 with those in the current proposal for 2006.
