Congress must advance anti-racist policies and provide the large-scale, sustained investments and reforms needed to ensure renters with the lowest incomes have an affordable place to call home. #HousingInvestmentsNow

[Idaho Asset Building Network @IdahoABN]

The Senate must pass a #ReconciliationBill to provide the large-scale, sustained investments needed to ensure renters with the lowest incomes have an affordable place to call home. #HoUSed

Rents are rising everywhere, & those with the lowest incomes who were already struggling to pay rent are getting squeezed the most. Congress must invest in proven solutions – like rental assistance, public hsg, & Housing Trust Fund – to help more families. #HousingInvestmentsNow

[Idaho Asset Building Network @IdahoABN]

Targeted housing investments in a #Reconciliation package are needed to keep America’s lowest-income & most marginalized people housed. Investments in rental assistance, public housing, & the Housing Trust Fund will help bring down the cost of housing. #HousingInvestmentsNow

[Idaho Asset Building Network @IdahoABN]

Congress is running out of time to tackle inflation. Rising housing costs are driving inflation, and targeted housing investments in a #Reconciliation package would help America’s lowest-income households pay the bills! #HousingInvestmentsNow

[Idaho Asset Building Network @IdahoABN]

As Idaho cities continue to be among the fastest growing in the nation, it is more important than ever that our lawmakers pass policies that create long-term housing solutions to ensure all Idahoans have access to an affordable home. #idpol #idleg
