INSUFFICIENT obama Jobs for all, INSUFFICIENT Low-income Housing for 1,000s of New Refugees Entering U.S. Is yours one of 180 cities to which the US State Department is sending refugees? If it IS, you are either experiencing this problem already or will be soon — not enough low income housing to go around. The city of Seattle had proposed a plan to gradually increase rents (they are probably going BROKE supporting all these immigrants), but the plan has been shelved for now because of the push-back from tenants. Seattle is the third most desirable city for Somali refugees behind number one __Minneapolis and number two __Columbus, Ohio. In response to widespread opposition, the Seattle Housing Authority (SHA) has shelved its controversial plan to raise rents for thousands of its tenants. There will be NO rent policy change until 2016, and the SHA might scrap the plan altogether. “We have decided to put consideration of the Stepping Forward proposal on hold,” SHA Executive Director Andrew Lofton wrote Monday in a letter to Seattle Mayor Ed Murray.
