Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:43:49 GMT

With non-payment evictions up 68% over last year and federal COVID funds depleted, the state’s emergency rental assistance program will need $100 million than is currently budgeted in order to continue meeting the needs of residents at risk of homelessness, according to a new report.The Rental Assistance for Families in Transition program, or RAFT, was successfully used to help prevent evictions of families during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the program as it is currently designed is hard to access and underfunded, according to the “Building a Better RAFT” report released Thursday.“While the COVID public health emergency has expired, the need for emergency rental assistance continues. Due to a combination of housing cost burden, low savings rates, and employment instability, many renters are still at high risk of falling behind on their rent,” the report reads. “The success of emergency rental assistance programs depends not only on adequate funding, but also on i...

TV review: Arnold Schwarzenegger’s still got it, but, otherwise, Netflix’s ‘FUBAR’ lacks the goods

For the first time, Arnold Schwarzenegger is starring in a television series.The longtime action star — and former California governor — hasn’t exactly leaped out of his comfort zone with the one-hour action-comedy “FUBAR,” the eight-episode debut season of which has just dropped on Netflix.According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series created by Nick Santora is “loosely inspired” by “True Lies,” an action-comedy movie from writer-director James Cameron.

It simply isn’t very good.Let’s be clear about one thing, however: Arnold “I’ll be back” Schw...
