Housing: A Human Right, Not a Commodity

Our Vision

Housing is a human right. Everyone deserves a safe, stable, and affordable place to live—regardless of income, background, or credit score. The housing crisis is not an accident; it is the result of decades of policy choices that treated homes as financial assets instead of places for people. We will bring down housing costs, rebuild public housing, and put people before profit.

Bringing Down Housing Costs

  • Take aggressive action to lower housing costs nationwide.

  • Expand supply where it is most needed while preventing price gouging.

  • End policies that reward speculation and drive up rents and home prices.

Build Public Housing—Again

  • Restart large-scale construction of publicly owned, permanently affordable housing.

  • Repair, modernize, and fully fund existing public housing instead of allowing it to decay.

  • Treat public housing as critical infrastructure—safe, dignified, and well-maintained.

Homes Are for Living—Not for Hoarding

  • Limit excessive single-family home ownership that removes homes from local communities.

  • Prohibit banks, hedge funds, and large corporations from buying up homes as investment assets.

  • Prioritize homeownership and stable rentals for people—not Wall Street.

Protecting Renters

  • Cap unjust rent increases so families are not priced out overnight.

  • Strengthen tenant protections and enforce habitability standards.

  • Stop unjust evictions and ensure due process for all renters.

Fair Access to Housing

  • End discriminatory screening practices that lock low-income renters out of housing.

  • Require fair consideration of applicants with limited credit history or past hardship.

  • Expand housing access for people exiting homelessness, domestic violence survivors, seniors, and people with disabilities.

Ending the Eviction-to-Homelessness Pipeline

  • Invest in eviction prevention, rental assistance, and legal aid for tenants.

  • Treat housing instability as a policy failure—not a personal one.

  • Coordinate housing policy with healthcare, mental health, and social services.

Our Commitment

A society that allows people to be priced out of their homes has lost its moral compass. We will build, repair, and protect housing as a public good. By standing up to corporate greed, protecting renters, and investing in public housing, we can ensure that everyone has a place to call home.
