Affordable Housing
Here’s what we can do to fix our housing problem, at a national and local level. Done Waiting supports:
-
Immediately pausing rent, utility, and mortgage payments during the COVID-19 pandemic, and creating a fund to support landlords for their loss of income.
-
Repealing the Faircloth Amendment so the government can start building new sustainable public housing communities immediately.
-
Any policy to create robust, economically and ecologically sustainable public housing in our community.
-
Green New Deal for Public Housing Act.
-
-
Improving the Fair Housing Act, because no family should have to choose between groceries, health care, or paying their rent.
-
Requiring landlords to issue ‘just cause’ before an eviction in order to allow for a more fair process.
-
A 3% cap on the increase of rent prices each year, both for business fronts and residential housing.
-
This will also help discourage gentrification in communities of color.
-
-
Pouring more resources into Section 8 vouchers in order to eliminate the waitlist for all eligible families.
-
Working with local advocacy groups and the homeless populations in order to create policies that work for the community.
-
Blocking any laws that prohibit homelessness or defund homeless programs.
