Housing for All Webinar is live now with Vangelic Parker of Housing Connector and Andrea Glispie of Charles Schwab discussing the state of housing affordability in Dallas and how we can connect people to more homes.

Good news! Rent prices have gone down slightly since the pandemic, according to Dr. Skylar Olsen of Zillow at the Housing Connector's Dallas Launch last month. This is primarily due to the fact that Dallas has enabled and supported construction efforts, but we have to keep to keep this pace up because despite the soft reduction in pricing, renters are still spending more of their income on housing due to the fact that other expenses have gone up. And unfortunately, homeownership remains harder than ever. For the full presentation on the State of Dallas Housing Affordability from Zillow's Economic Research, click here: https://bit.ly/3ZLDZdx

“What we often hear from the properties that we have partnerships with is that, ‘I came for the financial benefits; I stayed for the stability support.’ - Nick M, VP, Housing Connector Pierce County has contracted Housing Connector to administer what is known as the Landlord Liaison Program, a program that works proactively to prevent evictions before they occur. Since July 1, 2021, Housing Connector’s Landlord Liaison Program has partnered with 444 properties offering more than 10,000 units. Through the program they have housed 675 people at an average cost of $1,941 per household. The benefit to landlords and tenants includes up to three months of rental assistance, up to $5,000 in damage mitigation, covering one month of vacancy loses, two years of case management support to tenants, and they provide a single point of contact for landlords and tenants. Liat Arama is a landlord who manages nearly 150 units in King and Pierce counties. Arama said she has been enrolled in the Landlord Liaison Program in Pierce County for years. Arama said evictions can be extremely costly for landlords in the current regulatory environment as they can often mean a loss of rental income for nearly a year under the current regulations. She said the Landlord Liaison Program “absolutely” works to prevent evictions, and it works proactively to alleviate rental debt before it is compounded. “I wish all tenants in Washington State were enrolled,” she told The News Tribune. “That should be the standard.” Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gJVCBkF6 --- "According to the data from the Eviction Research Network, there were 1.8 evictions in King County for every 100 renters between September 2023 and August 2024, while Pierce County had 2.9 — the third highest eviction rate of any county in the state." You can partner with us to prevent evictions in Pierce County.
