22% of homes in the US have serious health and safety issues. Rent in Michigan averages $844 per month while the average renter wage is $13.70 per hour, not enough to afford market rate housing. Renters in Michigan are over 4 times as likely as homeowners to experience housing problems like inadequate facilities or overcrowding. Declining homeownership rates and rising rents put pressure on the rental market, driving up prices while giving landlords little incentive to repair properties. Racial disparities persist, with homeownership rates around 45-58% for minorities compared to 78% for whites.

MAYOR SCHELL’S ZERO HOMELESS FAMILY PLEDGE
On June 2nd, 1998, Mayor Paul Schell spoke to the press about the needs of homeless
families, women and children. He asked for the City Council’s support in providing
“immediate emergency assistance to homeless families and single women, a critical step
in providing lasting housing solutions for these families and individuals.” He noted that
“the problem continues to grow and we absolutely must find better ways to help people
find and keep housing.” He closed
his remarks with a
firm pledge
that there will be no
homeless families with children or homeless single women on the streets of Seattle by
Christmas 1998. His pledge made headlines in both Seattle papers the next day.
Alan Painter, Director of the Community Services Division of the Department of
Housing and Human Services, listened attentively to the new Mayor’s remarks. Painter
has dedicated his professional career to serving the needs of homeless people. He was
proud and excited to hear Schell’s passion and commitment to addressing homelessness
in Seattle. At the same time, he viewed the pledge with some trepidation. Counting the
number of homeless people on the street at any given time is notoriously tricky,
influenced by many factors. Further, he wondered how this pledge would dovetail with
City priorities and plans for dealing with homelessness. These plans emphasize services
to homeless people rather than just providing beds and they stress the need for other
jurisdictions to share in funding
homeless services.
The next six months promised to keep
Alan Painter very busy.

Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szet...Volition Properties
=== Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szeto) ===
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focused on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
☑️ Specifically WHERE should you invest?
☑️ What are the best markets to invest in and why?
☑️ How much are property prices there?
☑️ What are the returns like?
☑️ What is cashflow like?
☑️ Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
☑️ What ownership structure should I use?
☑️ What are the tax implications?
☑️ Can I get financing?
☑️ What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients' investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.

What else is important about
homeownership trends?

16. Racial
disparities in
wages and
wealth
persist in the
U.S.
As a group, Hispanic/Latino,
Black/African and Native American
people in the U.S. do not have the
same home-buying resources as
White people. People of color have
also faced historical & present-day
barriers (institutional racism) to
homeownership.
White people in
Michigan are 2x as
likely to own as
Black people,
and 1.3-1.4x
as likely to own as
Asian, Native and
Latino people.
White people are
becoming a smaller portion
of the total population.
Without equity in
wages, lending
and access to
homeownership,
people of color
will continue being
forced into
increasingly scarce
rental housing.

19. What values, assumptions and
beliefs shape the system?
1. That the rental housing market is
competitive with little or no
collusion or concentration of
ownership.

Housing: Assumptions of Open Access to a Perfectly Competitive 'Free Market'
Are Confronted with the Facts.” The American Journal of Economics and
Sociology, vol. 48, no. 3, 1989, pp. 273–292. JSTOR, JSTOR,

20. What values, assumptions and
beliefs shape the system?
2. Compared with renters,
homeowners are better citizens,
neighbors and persons.
“This belief can be traced to the very beginning of American Culture. The dominant
view of the colonists was that property ownership was a good indication of a
person’s moral worth. In fact, tenants were not allowed to participate in federal
elections until 1860 (Dreier 1982).”
21. What values, assumptions and
beliefs shape the system?
3. Anyone who wants to improve
their life situation in the United
States can do it, if they just work
hard enough.
