AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION
Home isn’t a privilege. It’s the foundation of everything — stability, safety, health, and dignity. Yet across America, rent has outpaced wages, housing assistance is years behind demand, and too many people are being left outside while politicians argue about “market forces.” A country that can build skyscrapers, freeways, and football stadiums can build roofs for its people.
THE PROBLEM
There is no county in America where a full-time minimum wage worker can afford a one-bedroom apartment.
The federal housing voucher system has multi-year waiting lists, and many states stop accepting applications altogether.
Evictions, foreclosures, and speculative investors are driving working families out of stable housing.
Homelessness is treated like a criminal issue instead of a policy failure — while millions of vacant properties sit empty.
Housing insecurity is now the largest driver of poverty, illness, and hopelessness in the nation.
OUR PLAN TO BRING EVERYONE HOME
We will treat housing as a human right — not a market luxury:
Universal Right-to-Housing Framework — Every American has the right to safe, stable shelter; no exceptions.
Build Public Housing for the 21st Century — Modern, sustainable, community-based housing built to last — not the neglected models of the past.
End the Voucher Waiting Game — Fully fund the Housing Choice Voucher program so everyone who qualifies actually gets help.
Ban No-Fault Evictions & Rent-Gouging — Protect tenants from sudden displacement and corporate rent inflation.
Vacant Property Utilization Act — Convert abandoned buildings and foreclosures into affordable housing with local control.
Supportive Housing for Reentry & Recovery — Dedicated transitional housing for people leaving shelters, hospitals, and the justice system — with wraparound services.
Federal Eviction Diversion Program — Require mediation and payment plans before eviction can proceed, keeping families housed during hard times.
WHY IT MATTERS
A roof shouldn’t be the reward for success — it should be the starting point for it. Housing isn’t just about rent; it’s about health, opportunity, education, and dignity. When people have homes, everything else becomes possible.
“We can’t fix poverty if people don’t have a place to sleep. Housing first — everything else follows.”
