John,
Housing is a human right. But for far too many working families, housing affordability is an outright crisis. Price gouging, inflation, and a lack of housing supply is wrecking the housing stability and the overall economy of communities like NY-16, and more and more people are being pushed to the brink.
That's why Senator Elizabeth Warren and I sent a letter to the White House urging President Biden to take immediate, concrete action to protect housing as a human right.
We're calling on the White House to use the executive power they have to do things like establish renter protections, increase the power of agencies to stop rental price gouging, find more funding for affordable housing, and other actions that will protect renters and help those experiencing homelessness.
Our community is made up of thousands of renters, and federal policy has for too long overlooked the crisis in the housing market overall. In addition to exploring legislative solutions, I'll always push the Biden Administration to do all that they can to help working families.
Thank you for your support — we depend on grassroots donors, not corporate PACs, so that I can truly advocate for the interests of the people.
Peace and love,
Jamaal Bowman
