Asheville Should Adopt “No Rent for Slumlords”
At the request of the Asheville Area Tenants Union, Asheville City Council will consider a “No Rent for Slumlords” ordinance on September 8. The proposal would empower tenants living in unsafe homes by prohibiting landlords from collecting rent while serious dangers remain uncorrected. Council should adopt it.

Helping Flood Survivors Reestablish Safe Housing Without Losing Community
The Buncombe County Commission unanimously accepted $4.12 million to administer the third group of Hazard Mitigation Grant Program property acquisitions, covering 152 properties. We supported accepting these funds, but we also asked Commissioners to hold a public hearing within 60 days on developing a standardized anti-displacement analysis framework. They did not discuss or act on that request, leaving unanswered how the County will help flood survivors reach safety without unnecessarily losing their community connections.
