Almost one-fifth of all public housing residents are older adults. A quarter are people with disabilities: urbn.is/3PxNq8g (via @livfiol, @mattgerken, @SJPopkin)
Line graph showing shares of older adults and people with disabilities in public housing increases over time

Excited to have the cover story in @sciencemagazine this week - or perhaps I should say, to partner with fungi on the cover. Fungi partner with nearly all of Earth's land plants to forge ecosystems that we depend on, but scientists are only beginning to understand...

This month, we’re celebrating the rights promised by the ADA & reflecting on what more must be done to make its promises a reality. 32 yrs later, disability remains a cause & consequence of poverty in the U.S. It’s time to secure economic justice for all disabled people! #ADA2022

ICYMI: My story on D.C.'s 40,000-person-long housing waitlist is now up on @DCist too. Over half the people waiting were experiencing homelessness or housing emergencies when they applied. D.C. is still working to house people who applied in 2004.

The final paragraph of the three liberals' Dobbs dissent: "With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent. "

For a veteran who is an amputee the wait to get out of a two-bedroom rodent-infested home and into a smaller place that meets his needs has taken years. My latest: Behind a lawsuit, an excruciating wait for housing for disabled residents

Perspective | Behind a lawsuit, an excruciating wait for housing for disabled residents
A disabled veteran. A woman with a brain tumor. Children with asthma. In D.C., they’re all waiting for housing that meets their needs, advocates say.

I hope #LongCovid changes how we think about disability and leads to new treatments for the many who suffer from poorly understood conditions like POTS
