Housing

Lack of affordable housing is devastating California families. Even with help, too many people in our district face housing insecurity. Sadly, the 2017 fires have only exacerbated this crisis.  Through Low-income Housing Tax Credits, I was able to secure funding that created more than 1,500 units of affordable housing in our district.

As Ranking Member of the Ways and Means Tax Policy Subcommittee, I'm working to address housing affordability and homelessness using federal tax incentives, such as the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, the Rehabilitation Tax Credit and tax-exempt bonds that encourage housing investment. I've also written the House Appropriations Committee to urge funding for important programs like the Community Development Block Grant, Section 8 Tenant-Based Rental Assistance and McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Grants.

Through these and other programs, I've worked to get our district millions of dollars in federal grants for homeless veterans and their children, for permanent and transitional housing and for service programs at shelters.

I'm committed to making housing affordable for more Californians. I'll continue working in the Ways and Means Committee, with the House Appropriation Committee and with federal agencies to provide whatever assistance I can.
