It's about damn time we treat the housing crisis like a legitimate crisis, diverting more of our national resources to solving it directly, repealing the Faircloth Amendment, prioritizing public housing, creating regulatory fast lanes, adopting a humane, Housing First approach.
Since 1999, HUD's budget has more than doubled, and yet, affordable supply has fallen well short of demand, rents have skyrocketed, and homelessness has risen 80%.

Yet another act of gun violence has left Michiganders mourning their neighbors and questioning their own safety. My heart aches for the families of the victims and hopes for the recovery of survivors.

This remains a uniquely American epidemic. It's time to ban assault weapons.
Death and destruction came in multiple forms Sunday morning at a church in Grand Blanc Township, where at least four people were killed and eight others were injured in what authorities are calling "an act of targeted violence." What we know: bit.ly/4pQQe3u
