John,

I hear a lot from my constituents about rising housing prices, especially in the Atlanta area. Recent reporting has even shown that housing prices in Atlanta are some of the fastest rising of any city in the U.S.

That’s why we made sure to include wide-ranging provisions for housing aid in the Build Back Better Act, including investments in public housing and rental assistance.

But before we jump into the details, please consider $5 or more today to keep housing advocacy at the top of the House agenda.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation to help Hank Johnson keep Georgia blue will go through immediately:

$5	$10
$15	$25
$50	Other

So, what are the investments House Democrats committed to alleviate the housing crisis? Here are just a few solutions:

$24 billion for Housing Choice Vouchers, helping low-income households rent a unit of their choice in the private market.
$65 billion to preserve and rebuild affordable housing, reducing health hazards and increasing energy efficiencies.
And billions more to help build or preserve tens of thousands of rental homes and increase the supply of affordable housing through the national Housing Trust Fund.

These investments are not only aimed at lowering housing costs, but also at ensuring America’s children are supported with safe, stable housing.

But there’s no guarantee that Build Back Better will pass the Senate. I urge my Senate colleagues to pass this legislation and get Americans the help they need as soon as possible.

If you believe we need to continue to alleviate the housing crisis by passing legislation such as Build Back Better, please contribute today to keep housing affordability at the top of the House agenda in 2022 and beyond.

Thank you,

Hank Johnson
