Jack, the last couple of years have been hard for Americans struggling to stay afloat financially after a deadly pandemic and record-breaking inflation. And as developers and corporations continue to line their pockets through the housing market, affordable housing continues to be out of reach for most Americans.

With the housing crisis so dire, President Joe Biden is taking significant steps to address the critical issue of housing affordability. Recognizing the hardships faced by millions of renters nationwide, the President has proposed a comprehensive plan that calls on Congress to legislate measures to reduce housing costs and cap rent increases.

The Biden-Harris administration is committed to expanding the availability of affordable housing through the strategic use of public lands. By repurposing federal lands, the administration would help construct thousands of new housing units. This plan also includes significant investments in community development. Despite these efforts, the administration faces opposition from Congressional Republicans, who have consistently blocked progressive housing reforms. This resistance hinders efforts to make homes and rentals more affordable, favoring corporate interests that profit from high rents.

Today, affordable housing continues to be increasingly out of reach for middle to low-income Americans. There is currently no locality in the country where a full-time minimum wage worker can afford a two-bedroom apartment priced at “fair market rent.”

Between the lack of affordable housing, the surge in communities experiencing homelessness, and the recent trend of local governments making moves to criminalize homelessness, Congress must act.
