Promoting Affordable Housing

Owning a home is one of the foundations of the American Dream. For far too many people today, however, that dream is no longer reachable due to a lack of affordable housing, or has slipped away because of the mortgage crisis. Florida and the 13th Congressional District have been hit especially hard in this housing crisis, and addressing it is one of my top priorities. Efforts to provide assistance to homeowners already affected must continue. I also support legislation making grants to state and local governments to boost affordable housing and stabilize neighborhoods, giving low- and middle-income families the chance to own a home. We must continue to look at solutions that work to provide assistance to potential homeowners before they face foreclosure.
