Housing
Texas families are facing an affordable housing crisis, and the federal government is best-positioned to tackle it. Congress must protect renters’ rights and lower housing costs for working families.
That’s why I support repealing the Faircloth Amendment, which prohibits a net increase in the amount of public housing units. I also support the Green New Deal for Public Housing, which invests up to $172 billion over ten years in renovating existing public housing, dramatically improving living conditions for nearly 2 million people living in over 950,000 public housing homes.
