One of these research specialist positions is a little different than our typical RS posting: We're hiring specifically for a project on homelessness, and we're hoping to find someone familiar with the world of CoCs and HMIS

When home heating is less affordable, more people die each winter. That's what our analysis found for a period when LIHEAP was in place. Without LIHEAP, the effect would presumably much larger.

After engaging with a lot of NFL content over the last month (Go Birds!), my FB feed has become infested with Fake NFL News. Obviously no agenda here other than to farm clicks, but what a terrible sign for our information environment.

This looks interesting. NJ Governor Phil Murphy is reportedly going to turn his cannon on exclusionary local zoning laws in his last year in office. A statement is expected as part of his "State of the State" speech this afternoon... www.njspotlightnews.org/2025/01/nj-g...
To boost affordable housing, Murphy says reform NJ zoning | NJ Spotlight News
NJ governor wants to allow small homes on single-, two-family lots, more housing on vacant land and reduced parking rules for housing near mass transit.

We've seen this year how SEPTA's fate hinges on a few votes in the PA assembly. Rapid growth in SEPA before the next redistricting could be the difference between a subway expansion and a death spiral!
Compare NJ and DE to PA. We need to wait until county level estimates are released to find out if SEPA is keeping up with its neighbors.
All but three states & Puerto Rico saw population growth in 2024
Fastest Growers: DC (2.2%), Florida (2%), Texas (1.8%), Utah (1.8%), South Carolina (1.7%)
Slowest: Vermont (-0.03%), West Virginia (-0.03%), Puerto Rico (-0.02%), Mississippi (-0.004%), Louisiana (+0.2%)
