Housing Is a Human Right​
Housing and Homelessness have been and continue to be my top priorities on City Council. I led the fight to increase affordable housing, assist homeowners and protect tenants and support the homeless.
I am ready to make housing a priority in Harrisburg.
My Plan for Housing Justice:
​
Build and Preserve Affordable Housing
-
Rent Stabilization
-
Inclusionary Zoning
-
Fully Fund PA Housing Affordability and Rehabilitation Enhancement (PHARE)
Hold Corporate Landlords Accountable
-
Register and regulate Wall Street landlords
-
Stop speculative housing practices that drive up costs for everyone
-
Enforce maintenance and habitability standards
​
Keep People in their Homes
-
Just cause eviction protections
-
Guaranteed legal representation for tenants in eviction court
-
Eviction Sealing protections
-
Assist homeowners with repairs (Whole Home Repair)
-
Property Tax Relief for Seniors & Working Families
Housing First Approach
-
Stop criminalization of homelessness
-
Invest in permanent, supportive housing
-
Increase mental health and drug & alcohol services
Over half of renters spend more than 30% of their income on housing in the Lehigh Valley.
​Wages aren’t keeping up. Too many of us are just one emergency, one paycheck away from being homeless. We can change that. ​With the right leadership, Pennsylvania can guarantee housing as a human right—not just a dream for the lucky few.Let’s Build a Future Where Everyone Has a Place to Call Home.
