Issue Position: Affordable Housing

Issue Position

For every 10 new households that have formed, we have built 7 new homes. You don't need to be an economist to know that underbuilding will result in higher prices. The high cost of housing is destabilizing our families. Fully funding the Housing Trust Fund can provide affordable housing that will make housing more affordable for even more people than those directly served. The state government also needs to work with cities, counties, and tribes to create diverse housing options. If we can create smart growth, we can build communities that save taxpayer money by economizing on public services and building healthier communities.
