    Episode 80: What's happening with Texas' Continuums of Care?

    HUD's Continuum of Care program or CoCs are critical support systems for those who are either experiencing or nearing homelessness. These essential lifelines have been in jeopardy in the past few months due to funding reprioritization from the federal government. On this episode of A Little Louder, Hope Rodgers and Billy Streu from Texas Homeless Network join the show to talk through what CoCs actually do and what ground they cover, the issues with their Notice of Funding Opportunities, and where they all stand now.

The Harris County Eviction Mapping Tool investigates and maps where and how evictions happen, who is affected by them and who is most frequently ordering them. Both Hahn and Beaty break down what they are seeing in large metros like San Antonio and Houston, and explore what it will take to create real change for low-income tenants.

    Episode 75: Houston's potential catastrophe around disaster recovery dollars

    Hurricane Beryl and the May 2024 derecho showed the powerful and long lasting effects that a wide range of weather events can have. The federal government assessed $229 million in unmet need for home repair and personal property loss. Yet the City of Houston released its Action Plan in May, and there are $0 allocated to housing of any kind. On this episode of A Little Louder, we're joined by Maddie Sloan, Director of the Disaster Recovery and Fair Housing Project at Texas Appleseed. We discuss what is missing from this plan, and we hear directly from tenants who gave their feedback on the plan and what they want to see. If you'd like to particpate or offer comments, the City of Houston will have two virtual meetings on June 10th and June 12th. Written comments can be submitted to the city until Sunday, June 22nd. And all of this information can be found on the City of Houston’s Housing Department website houstontx.gov/housing

    Episode 73: Breaking down HB 32 and SB 38 aka the Eviction Bills

    Texas Housers is tracking several housing bills at the 2025 Texas Legislature, some good and some bad. However, one piece of proposed legislation, HB 32 and its companion SB 38, seeks to dramatically expidite and overhaul the eviction process as we know it. To learn more on how these bills would restrict tenants' ability to defend themselves, remain safely housed, or even have a fair day in court, Mark Melton from the Dallas Eviction Advocacy Center joins A Little Louder to detail exactly what this bill proposes. We also get into how this bill was erronously marketed as a "squatter" bill, and how everyday people can learn more about active legislation and act accordingly. Visit Who represents me?
