We need to build and support housing that our families can afford in ways that support vibrant, sustainable communities. Connie understands that a lack of funding has stalled far too many long-approved projects and that deregulation won’t build the housing San Francisco needs. The federal government can do much more to provide grants and low-interest loans to finance low- and middle-income housing, expand the housing tax credits that spur sustainable mixed use development, increase rental assistance to vulnerable tenants, and support innovative social housing programs designed to enable working families to remain in our cities. 

Connie knows that relying on corporate developers to build affordable housing hasn’t worked - we need direct federal investments in housing and transit so we can guarantee our City workforce can afford to live and thrive in San Francisco. She will make a commitment to secure the resources needed to create both low-income and middle-income housing, expand the paths to home ownership for first-time buyers, and protect tenants.
