Lose your job? Then lose your housing too...

Sheila Crowley of NLIHC reacts with alarm to news that the Atlanta Housing Authority intends to evict non-disabled tenants of working age if they can't find and keep jobs. (Apparently the housing authority doesn't want to be a "safety net" any more, and HUD is allowing it to drop that role. In which case, where is the safety net for people who lose their jobs? Or has it been decided that they don't deserve one?)

Also from NLIHC, an expectation of action yet this month on the HR 1461 GSE's bill, with the redesigned regulation of Fannie and Freddie plus the much-debated affordable housing fund; a possible new HOPE VI bill; and a useful analysis of the recent HUD guidance on "preservation" vouchers.
