People First Housing platform

Housing is a human right.

But for too many Americans, affordable, safe, and healthy housing is out of reach—forcing them to pay 40, 50, or even 60 percent of their income in rent, and forcing others on the streets. As the former Secretary of HUD under President Obama, I’ve seen the challenges that Americans face in housing—from rising rents, to gentrification, to housing discrimination, to homelessness.

We need a president who will match the urgency of this issue with concrete, bold plans.
*********************************************************************

In my People First Housing platform, I’m offering new ideas to address the emerging and persistent housing challenges that our nation faces today.

Part I: Solve the rental affordability crisis and end homelessness
Part II: Provide safe, fair, and equal housing opportunities for all people by strengthening housing discrimination protections, addressing gentrification, and working to make sure all housing and climate goals align
Part III: Support homeownership and hold Wall Street accountable for its impact on the housing market
