A federal judge has ruled 114,000 homeless students in New York City are to have their day in court. Business Insider reports a judge has allowed a class-action lawsuit to advance to expedite the roll-out of WiFi to homeless shelters across the city. The suit was filed when homeless students were unable to access the internet in homeless shelters during periods of remote learning this year. Business Insider reports the city provided students with iPads with unlimited cellular data, but many have had trouble getting proper cell service. US District Judge Alison Nathan wrote in her opinion that homeless students are deprived of their right to education without internet connectivity. For as long as that deprivation exists, the City bears a duty...to furnish them with the means necessary for them to attend school. US District Judge Alison Nathan
In March, the US Federal Reserve's lowering of interest rates fueled a housing boom. According to Business Insider, the Federal Housing Finance Agency says that the explosion shows no signs of subsiding. A seasonally adjusted index of prices rose 1.7% in September from the prior month, and prices jumped 7.8% from their year-ago period. Mortgage rates hit their thirteenth record-low of the year last week. The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate fell to 2.72% from 2.84%. However, experts say the good times in the housing market aren't likely to last forever. We expect some moderation in the pace of housing starts in the face of the rapidly escalating health crisis, a faltering recovery, and softening labor market gains.

Business Insider reports that in September, sales of previously owned homes leaped 9.4%. According to the National Association of Realtors that's a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.54 million. This is the fourth-straight month of accelerating sales, and the latest rate is the fastest since 2006. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expected the sales rate to climb to 6.3 million from August's revised 5.98 million. The US housing market has served as a bright spot in the slowing economic recovery. Record-low mortgage rates have driven more Americans to buy units.
