HOUSING AS A HUMAN RIGHT

OFFICIALS WITHIN OUR GOVERNMENTAL SYSTEM WILL DEMONSTRATE THEIR COMMITMENT TO FIGHTING FOR HOUSING FOR ALL BY:

Understanding housing as a human right as opposed to a commodity, and taking proactive steps to end the homelessness crisis

Promoting the building of wealth and assets  for communities of color through homeownership, community-led innovation, and security

Empowering folks affected by evictions, homelessness, and foreclosures to participate in local, state, and federal decisions affecting their lives

Pursuing policies that protect tenants, prevent evictions, preserve affordable housing and construct affordable housing to meet the community’s needs 

Centering the needs of the unhoused, unstably housed, and those disproportionately impacted by housing costs when making decisions around homelessness and housing policy

Decriminalizing homelessness and recognizing that people need housing first before any other struggles can be addressed
