1/ The Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force Recommendations includes these strong commitments on housing:

✅ “supercharge” investment in the national Housing Trust Fund to “greatly expand the number of affordable housing units on the market.”

✅ Provide Section 8 housing support for every eligible family.

✅ Enact a new Homeowner and Renter Bill of Rights to protect families from abusive banks and landlords.

✅ Provide legal support to fight wrongful evictions

✅ End homelessness in America through a housing-first approach.

✅ make energy efficiency upgrades in public and other affordable housing

✅ “Vigorously” enforce the Fair Housing Act

✅ Ensure 100% of returning citizens have access to transitional hsg

These strong commitments reflect those made by almost all D candidates - so thanks to @BernieSanders @JoeBiden @ewarren @JulianCastro @amyklobuchar @SenGillibrand @BetoORourke @KamalaHarris @CoryBooker for advancing comprehensive solutions to the hsg crisis.

The next step is to get these commitments into the Democratic party platform.
@JoeBiden has put together dozens of committees to draft the platform, including one on housing. More on that soon.
