Proposed Federal Rental Assistance Time Limit Puts Thousands of Oklahomans at Risk for Eviction and Homelessness

A proposed two-year time limit on rental assistance from the federal government in Oklahoma puts over 32,000 individuals, including 18,400 children, at risk of eviction and homelessness.

Housing experts argue that the timeline does not address the root cause of the housing crisis in the state.

The minimum wage is insufficient for many families to afford housing, with some needing to work over 100 hours per week to afford rent.

The proposed changes could lead to a rise in eviction rates, making it harder for individuals to secure housing in the future.

Landlords are also concerned about the impact of the two-year limit on rental assistance.

Rainiers Succumb to Comets' Offensive Surge in 12-8 Loss

The Tacoma Rainiers fell 12-8 to the Oklahoma City Comets in a high-scoring battle Tuesday night at Cheney Stadium.

The Comets jumped out early as Esteury Ruiz’s leadoff single and aggressive baserunning paved the way for Ryan Ward’s RBI hit.

After quickly falling behind, Tacoma answered back with a two-run homer from Leo Rivas—his 10th of the season—narrowing the deficit to just one run.

Oklahoma City’s bats, however, remained hot, collecting 19 hits and four home runs, including blasts by Noah Miller and Ward.

Relievers William Fleming and Domingo Gonzalez ran into trouble, giving up key runs that allowed the Comets to pull away.

Bright spots for Tacoma included three hits from Samad Taylor and an energetic two-run single by Rhylan Thomas.

With the series ongoing, local fans are invited to support the Rainiers as they regroup and push for a comeback at home.
