apnews.com
Trump’s shift from 'Housing First' is causing upheaval for homelessness programs and many they serve
The Trump administration is shifting federal policy and dollars away from the “Housing First” approach that has been at the heart of federal homelessness policy.

Want to reduce homelessness? The rent's too damned high. We have to do better in our definition of "affordable housing." Pegging 'affordable' rents to 50% of the median income of an area won't get it done for all the people making 30% of the median income. apnews.com/article/affo...

Crazy thing I only just learned: The American Civil War wasn’t called that until the early 20 th century, over 40 years after it ended. So what was it called before then? Depends on who was speaking…

What is wrong with people? High schoolers celebrated our country’s founding and they’re driven out by racists? It’s easy to see that the students are the only patriots here: www.inquirer.com/education/17...
inquirer.com
Racist backlash roiled these high schoolers' production of '1776.' It strengthened their resolve.
Racially incendiary and antisemitic comments were made under social media photos of the diverse cast, which includes students of color and women playing the Founding Fathers.
