Show Notes
Providence Mayor Brett Smiley unveils a new housing stabilization plan, the RENT Fund, offering one-time grants of up to $3,000 to renters facing sudden hardships. The fund targets households earning up to 80% of the area median income and covers overdue rent, utilities, and other costs. The mayor opposes a separate rent stabilization plan, focusing on immediate aid and boosting housing supply through a proposed $25 million bond for the Housing Trust Fund. The RENT Fund could launch this summer, aiming to prevent evictions amid a tight affordable housing market.
