In Case You Missed It . . .  

This week at CBPP, we focused on housing and the economy.

• On housing, Will Fischer outlined the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s expansion of a promising policy to support housing choice, known as small area fair market rents. 
• On the economy, we updated our backgrounder on how many weeks of unemployment compensation are available per state.
