In Summary
Public housing authorities in California, especially Los Angeles, have left critical coronavirus relief information out of letters sent to tenants. Advocates say the lack of information could lead to tenants evicting themselves when they don t have to.

Progressives propose tripling housing commitment in infrastructure plan

WASHINGTON â Top liberal lawmakers unveiled legislation Monday that would pour more than $100 billion over a decade into modernizing the public housing system and starting a transition to renewable energy, as progressives seek to prod President Biden to expand his far-reaching infrastructure plan.
The legislation, led by Senator Bernie Sanders, Independent from Vermont, and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democrat from New York, is the first of multiple proposals from progressives who are trying to shape the presidentâs $2.3 trillion package, which Biden has said aims both to overhaul infrastructure and to address climate change and economic inequities.
President Joe Biden entered office in January facing multiple converging crises and the urgent need to mitigate the previous administration’s most egregious failures: a pandemic entering its second year, exacerbated by a botched vaccine rollout and anti-mask disinformation; businesses crippled by indoor-gathering restrictions and depressed consumer spending; millions of Americans out of work and facing foreclosure, eviction or homelessness; extreme weather emergencies linked to climate change … the list goes on.
The end of this 100-day sprint is upon us, and we must look beyond the short term. The American Rescue Plan has passed, the CDC’s eviction moratorium has been extended until June 30 and an ambitious $2 trillion infrastructure plan is currently under debate. Embedded in that proposed legislation is some $213 billion earmarked to “produce, preserve, and retrofit more than a million affordable, resilient, accessible, energy efficient, and electrified housing units.”

Last week, we looked at the reality of mental health and substance abuse, and how they can inhibit homelessness recovery. We also looked at the real costs of having a criminal record when your very existence is criminalized.
While dozens of charities and ministries have banded together to help with immediate needs – such as clothing, showers and temporary shelter – what is the City of Clarksville doing to help in the long-term?
