Housing

Addressing the Affordable Housing Crisis

Every single American deserves a roof over their head and a place to sleep at night. The Bay Area is one of the most expensive property markets in the United States and decreasing housing prices and increasing affordable housing opportunities are two of my top priorities.

Expanding Affordable Housing Options

Hardworking Americans around the nation, especially in California, face a drastic shortage of affordable housing options. That’s why I consistently advocate to increase funding for federal housing programs and ensure no American is priced out of a home. In the government funding package for Fiscal Year 2023, I secured $1.5 million to build new low-income housing units and address housing repair needs in current low-income homes throughout our communities. I will never stop fighting to expand high quality and affordable housing options for all Americans.

Ending Homelessness

I am deeply concerned about the high number of Americans experiencing homelessness, both in California and across our nation. I am committed to helping our struggling community members into new homes and addressing the root cause of homelessness, by funding federal housing programs and expanding the supportive services and resources available to Americans.

I was honored to vote in support of the appropriations legislation for Fiscal Year 2023, which included $2.7 billion in funding for Homeless Assistance Programs. I will continue to support federal efforts to prevent any American from becoming unhoused and guarantee all Americans the basic human right to shelter.

Combating Housing Discrimination

Communities of color and low-income families have consistently faced housing discrimination, leading to wealth, education, and health disparities. It is imperative we abolish the current systemic barriers and policies preventing equitable access to housing and break the cycles of poverty and discrimination. I am working alongside our local communities to address the lasting impact of housing discrimination and ensure no American is forced to worry where they’ll sleep at night.
