Homes for All

For the richest country in the world, homelessness, evictions, dilapidation, and gentrification have always been policy choices. This crisis is the result of politicians like Steny Hoyer consistently favoring the interests of investors, developers, and the wealthy over tenants and the vulnerable. And as Covid-19 has made us acutely aware, housing insecurity has severe public health consequences.  

Housing is a human right. Beyond addressing the immediate housing crisis, our vision of guaranteeing housing for all will create millions of good-paying jobs, tackle the climate crisis, and address at the root the racism that has prevented Black Americans from building generational wealth. I support a Homes Guarantee, a comprehensive framework for enshrining housing as a right for all.

Mckayla supports:

  • Building 12 million social housing units and eradicating homelessness by passing the Homes for All Act.

  • Reinvesting in existing public housing by passing the Green New Deal for Public Housing Act.

  • Protecting renters and bank tenants by passing the A Place to Prosper Act, establishing a National Tenants Bill of Rights, and ending housing and lending discrimination. 

  • Paying reparations for centuries of racist land and housing policy, including first by passing H.R.40 to establish a commission on slavery and reparations. 

  • Ending land and real estate speculation and de-commodifying housing by instituting taxes that fully disincentivize such speculative practices.
