Some $70 billion would cover repairs and upgrades to federally subsidized housing.
Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris and Rep. Maxine Waters, who both represent California in Congress, have introduced legislation aimed at expanding access to affordable housing across the U.S. to the tune of more than $100 billion.
A 2018 report from the Department of Housing and Urban Development noted that around 10,000 public housing units were lost each year in large part because of poor maintenance. Similar to legislation recently proposed by Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Harris and Waters’ bill would fund improvements to affordable housing aimed at making apartment buildings more water- and energy-efficient.
The bill from Waters and Harris comes as the nation’s supply of affordable housing has fallen well short of demand, particularly in the lawmakers’ home state of California. Democratic presidential candidates discussed the affordable housing crisis in a debate this week.
