Hundreds of District residents face a housing crisis leaving incarceration

In 2019, Charles Hopkins was released following 48 years of incarceration. The D.C. native returned to a different city. The metro system was unfamiliar, neighborhoods had evolved, and housing was more expensive. After living with his family for nine days, Hopkins was forced into a period of housing instability with little savings, no credit, and no job — all essential parts of finding somewhere to live.

D.C. developers weigh in on Janeese Lewis-George's housing promises

Mayor-elect Janeese Lewis George campaigned on protecting tenants while getting more homes built in D.C. — 72,000 in five years. Developers say she has her work cut out for her. Why it matters: D.C.'s development market has slowed dramatically amid federal job losses, unpaid rent, regulatory hurdles and high financing costs. What they're saying: Developers welcome JLG 's promise of higher-density development and expedited permitting, but say those changes alone won't be enough to fix the current market. "There needs to be a full-on PR campaign in D.C. to change the stigma around investing [here]," says Ian Ruel of commercial real estate group Feldman Ruel. Ruel says D.C.'s tenant-friendly policies have instead driven developers toward places like NoVA, which some see as "more pro-business" with "more perceived growth." Instead, several experts Axios spoke with want JLG to address the same thing right off the bat: unpaid rent. "It's fundamental, because without those rent revenues, buildings can't really operate," says Peter A. Tatian, an Urban Institute housing expert. "It's putting a lot of the housing at risk." Tatian also says stabilizing and preserving existing affordable housing should be prioritized before focusing on new builds. Reality check: Developers praised Lewis George's housing

Washington-area home sales plunge nearly 20% as buyers retreat

The D.C. area's home sales took a nosedive last month, according to a new report from real estate group Bright MLS . The big picture: It's more evidence that area buyers and sellers are staying on the sidelines as rates remain high and economic uncertainty prevails. By the numbers: The number of closed home sales across the Washington region dropped 19.2% in October compared to a year ago, per Bright data. New purchase contracts declined 20.4%. Showings were down 15.2%. Seller activity also slowed, with new listings dropping 6.1%. Meanwhile, active listings jumped 22.1% as buyers continued to watch and wait. And while the median sale price remained relatively stable — $625,000 — it did drop 0.8%, marking the first year-over-year decline in over three years. What they're saying: "Buyers are holding back this fall with rates above 7%," said Bright MLS chief economist Lisa Sturtevant in a release. "Higher-income buyers and cash buyers are still in the market, but it has gotten very difficult for first-time and moderate-income buyers." Yes, but: While buyer activity dropped across all of Washington's jurisdictions, D.C.'s median sale price still saw an increase (3.6%), along with several other markets including Fairfax city (6.2%) and
