My new legislation would incentivize communities to build more housing and deliver lower costs.

Movement family,

As the daughter of a tenants’ rights organizer, I learned firsthand how essential it is that all people have a safe and healthy place to call home.

So throughout my career, I’ve pushed for policies that affirm housing as a human right.

That includes my new Innovation Fund Act, which I recently introduced alongside Representative Emanuel Cleaver, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and Senator Raphael Warnock.

This legislation would bring down costs by incentivizing communities to build more housing. We’ve already gotten it included in the landmark bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act. But to get the bill through Congress, we must show that the people are demanding action.

Add your name to become a grassroots co-sponsor of our legislation to deliver more safe, stable, affordable housing.

ADD MY NAME

Our bill rewards innovative approaches that improve housing supply, leading to increased housing affordability and quality. It creates a competitive pot of highly flexible funding for communities that are building more housing, which can be used to improve community infrastructure, build housing, and supplement water and sewer grants.

In addition to pushing this bill forward, I’ll keep fighting for other housing justice measures like my Tenants’ Right to Organize Act, which I reintroduced earlier this year.

And I’ll keep working to deliver federal investments to the Massachusetts 7th, like the millions I’ve helped secure for Somerville’s Clarendon Hill housing community, for an affordable housing development for LGBTQ+ seniors in Hyde Park, and for emergency childcare support for families experiencing homelessness in the City of Boston.

Together, we’ll keep pursuing policies that guarantee safe and stable housing for all.

As part of our fight for housing justice, please add your name and say you support my new bill to ensure more quality, affordable housing.

In solidarity,

Ayanna
