We joined @MayorOfLA & @HUDgov Acting Sec. Adrianne Todman at the Mayfair to highlight housing progress! Thanks to HUD waivers, over 1,000 Angelenos are now housed. “HACLA has used these waivers 1,200+ times to house our most vulnerable,” said CPO Margarita Lares.

We can’t only talk about building new supply of #AffordableHousing housing. People with the lowest incomes cannot afford the rents needed to cover even basic housing operating costs. That’s why housing supply strategies need to be coupled with #rentalassistance.
3 in 4 households who need rental assistance do not receive it due to policymakers’ failure to provide sufficient funding — policymakers must expand and improve rental assistance so that all people with low incomes who need help receive it. cbpp.org/research/housing/th…

Today, Sept. 10, 2024, is Caster Binion Day in the City of @pittsburgh!
Pittsburgh City Council this morning honored HACP Executive Director Caster D. Binion for his service to the City of Pittsburgh and to our country, on a recommendation by Councilwoman @tkailsmith.
Mr. Binion has served as the Executive Director of the HACP and Allies and Ross Management & Development Corporation, Inc. (ARMDC) and its subsidiaries since February 2013. As Executive Director, Mr. Binion manages an annual budget of roughly $200 million and is responsible for the operations of roughly 2,300 units of Low-Income Public Housing (LIPH), 5,500 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVs) and 1,000 mixed-finance housing units.
During his tenure, Mr. Binion has led several major affordable housing initiatives, including: the community-wide Choice Neighborhoods Initiative (CNI) in Larimer/East Liberty launched in 2014, the implementation of a $500,000 Choice Neighborhood Initiative (CNI) Planning Grant for Bedford Dwellings and subsequent $50,000,000 CNI Implementation Grant for Bedford Dwellings, and a $30,000,000 CNI for Larimer that just concluded.
Prior to beginning his career in public housing, Mr. Binion served as a paratrooper with the @USArmy, and served during Operation Desert Storm before retiring from the military in 1992.
During today's meeting, @tkailsmith, @kharimosley, and @CharlandBob commended Mr. Binion and his "amazing team" for efforts to increase the availability of affordable housing, and for being responsive to the needs of constituents in their respective districts.
Mr. Binion thanked the residents of @Pittsburgh and the HACP, his staff for their dedication and hard work, community partners who have helped with many projects, including the Choice Neighborhoods endeavors, and his wife, Della, for "putting up with me."
