Housing
Affordable housing is a cornerstone of strong economies and communities in the Second District. If you don’t have a roof over your head, you can’t focus on finding a job or contributing to your community. It’s critical that Congress take action to expand access to affordable housing so that everyone has a safe and affordable place to call home.
That’s why I was proud to co-sponsor the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act, which would expand and strengthen the Affordable Housing Tax Credit to build more affordable housing units for seniors, veterans and underserved communities. Additionally, my casework team and I are dedicated to connecting our constituents to the resources they need to get caught up on overdue rent and utilities.
I am working hard to ensure that every single Minnesotan has access to affordable housing options, because everybody deserves to have a roof over their head.
