What happend to project connect. ?? The reason more nonprofits are moving in is due to the way the funds are being allocated?? Who's monitoring the allocation and who's actually profiting from families bieng displaced..
Those question are excellent. You are not alone in wondering. Why are they are not being asked or answered in the news? City budget and grants give away a lot of money to programs with unclear results. Homeless camps all over town are full of people who do not want to comply with requirement to give up substance abuse. They are very different from the priced out vulnerable who cannot afford to join the Austin boom. Meanwhile two thirds of Austin Community College funding comes from homeowner property tax. Look at how they have grown.
I find it very odd that they’re not allowed to build more HUD based housing. Like, how bad a landlord/management company do you have to be to not be allowed to build with HUD backing? Or is this just Texas trying to be on their own at the expense of residents? Qualifications are different if it’s housing authority, HUD section 8/sections 202 which is low income seniors only, tax credit units. Tax credit being the most expensive and hardest income requirements.
There should be rules and regulations. If you don’t meet the screening criteria what do you want the property owner to do? The problem I’m seeing is people don’t want to face the consequences of their choices. They want property owners to eat their mistakes and take chances on their hard earned investments and take losses by charging less rent. Is that fair to property owners?
@@alextemple9247talk to your tax collector and insurance companies. Owning property isn’t cheap and people also forget it’s a business and everyone think the landlords should take losses and ‘give’ their hard earned property away while paying the bills to keep the property.
I have been living in affordable housing since I moved here here from Arizona, I am now living in charmers East, last year my rent went up $250, I just got a note on my door to let me know that my rent is going up$170, calculation for annual year I will be paying $20,000 a year in rent , and I’m making about 30 a year. I haven’t even added my electric bill my food bill I pay more rent then I can afford to even eat my next birthday November I will be 65 and I’m working all the time but still not making it. What do I do in these cases?
