Just dropped an article in @shelterforce.bsky.social on what "ROAD to Housing" means for disaster recovery. TLDR, this isnt the end of the fight, its the beginning. The disaster team at @nlihc.org will keep pushing for efficient effective and transparent funds! shelterforce.org/2026/10/06/h...

Join Feb 6, 1 PM ET for Disabled Infrastructure, Disability Resilience, a conversation with Angela Frederick on her book Disabled Power and lessons from Winter Storm Uri and the 2021 Texas power crisis. Register here: occidental.zoom.us/meeting/regi...
The book cover shows, in the foreground, a line of utility trucks with orange safety cones is parked along a snow-dusted road. Tall electrical transmission towers and power lines recede into the distance, filling the background. The title, “Disabled Power,” appears in large, bold orange letters centered across the upper-middle of the cover. Above it, in smaller black text, is the subtitle: “A Storm, a Grid, and Embodied Harm in the Age of Disaster.” At the bottom, the author’s name, Angela Frederick, appears in black capital letters.

For households with low-incomes, the rent is always going to eat first - with SNAP helping make up the gap. Without that subsidy, theres very little to make up the difference. Cant believe there's money sitting in the bank for it, but its not getting used 👀
