Housing This proposal creates a real pathway for DC residents to own homes for 0 down and approximately 700 per month, using the same resources the city already spends today. Wages / Job Benefits Year Paid Maternity and Paternity Leave. Education I will fight for schools in low income neighborhoods to have equal funding as schools in wealthier neighborhoods. Currently, wealthier neighborhoods in DC have more private funding through Parent Teacher Associations. I will fight to make sure schools in low income neighborhoods have just as much funding. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Establish paid DC neighborhood watch patrols made up of DC residents. This will NOT replace the police, but will be used as an additional program to allow DC residents to unite with their neighbors to keep their neighborhoods safe. Housing Monthly payments would go back into a public housing fund, helping finance future homes. Education Establish a DCTAG fund for entrepreneurship. Add entrepreneurship classes to DCPS curriculum. DCPS students will get up to 10K for four years, for a business. Wages / Job Benefits Guaranteed Paid Jobs for DC residents who are most at risk for gun violence and crime. Housing Homes would be built on publicly owned land, eliminating land acquisition costs. Housing No New Taxes. No New Spending. This housing plan works because it uses existing public resources more effectively. Housing Supporting first-time buyers with limited savings by removing upfront barriers to owning a home. Education Establish more mentoring programs and activities for youth. Recruit males from UDC, Howard University, AU, GW, Catholic U, etc to get college credit or community service hours to mentor youth in DC. Immigration 7. We will protect our immigrant communities in DC by fighting to end all cooperation between ICE, MPD, and DC Council. Housing Homeownership remains one of the most effective ways to build stability and generational wealth. Yet in DC, rising prices and high upfront costs have locked many residents out of owning a home.
