America’s next housing crisis

Axios Re:Cap ·

2020/08/05

Dan discusses the looming housing crisis and where it factors into current stimulus negotiations with Alieza Durana of the Eviction Lab at Princeton University. Learn more about your ad choices

Axios Re:Cap ·

2020/07/27

The White House and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell this afternoon rolled out their proposal for the next federal stimulus. They have major disagreements with the Democrats who they'll need to get it passed — and it’s possible that no issue will be more contentious than unemployment benefits.
