Every day the very dream of homeownership becomes an increasingly distant goal for so many people. Skyrocketing housing prices have left many people with few options that fit their budget as costs also get passed down to renters. Our most vulnerable communities are being forced out of the homes they grew up in as developers price people out of their neighborhoods.

Homes shouldn’t destroy your paycheck.

We can have affordable housing that fits the needs of communities. We can have real estate that prioritizes families over profits. We can have neighborhoods that are safe AND affordable. We can grow our personal equity without having to have it be at the expense of the most vulnerable populations.

Here’s How:

• Reevaluation of zoning laws that are prohibitive of new middle income housing

• Tax credits to first time homebuyers

• Tax credits for 2-3 family unit developers

• Property limitations for ‘AirBnB-style’ short term renters

• Fixer Upper grants: Homes in disrepair that are purchased are eligible for $25,000 reimbursement improvements pending inspection
