Housing & Affordability

The Problem

Rents and home prices have outpaced wages. In many parts of CA-35, working families face impossible choices: overcrowding, long commutes, delaying family plans, or leaving the district entirely. Housing insecurity also drives instability in schools, public safety, and small business growth. All this Causes or communities money, mental health strain, and overall frustration.

The Federal Gap

Federal policy affects housing more than most people realize — interest rates, tax incentives, infrastructure funding, housing grants, and oversight of consolidation in lending and development. When federal programs don’t align with local realities, communities get priced out while costs keep rising.

My Plan

Practical federal action that supports responsible local development and stabilizes working families. This is done with consistent communication with CDBG programs , and CLT programs. Pooling togather resources to accomplish the goal. I have the vision if you have the courage to change.

• Reward affordability, not luxury-only growth: prioritize federal incentives for projects that deliver real affordable units and workforce housing. If major developers decide not to build affordable, well then they invite their own competition. We will bolster the small bussiness and contract working Amricans not corporations, build home building programs in the surrounding area and flood them federal dollars so that we can build fast, affordable, American homes.
• Lower the total cost of building: expand infrastructure support tied to housing production (utilities, transit access, roads) so cities can grow responsibly.
• Protect renters from unjustified spikes: support policies that promote stability and transparency for renters while encouraging new supply. We have to discus median income rent control framework. its the right thing to do !
• Expand fair access to ownership: strengthen first-time homebuyer pathways and down-payment support for working families. Investigate and Eliminate corporations who violate consumer law on any level. Stop big corporations who have zero credibility, on reporting and deciding on who has access to capitol.
• Demand accountability in lending and credit: increase oversight of practices that block families from mortgages or fair credit access. The big name credit companies have wage war on the working class family, and it is time to fight back.

What Success Looks Like

• More affordable units built and occupied — not just proposed.
• Reduced rent volatility for working families.
• Shorter commutes and less overcrowding as housing supply catches up.
• Improved pathways to first-time ownership for responsible working families.
• Federal dollars tied to measurable outcomes — not empty ribbon cuttings.
