Housing Rob will also strengthen partnerships to expand grant and assistance programs for first-time homebuyers, veterans, and first responders.

Housing I will push for evidence-based solutions that combine housing access, substance abuse treatment, and mental health services. Compassion without accountability is not a strategy. Housing He will streamline permitting, encourage strategic growth, and support policies that discourage large-scale corporate purchases of single-family homes so that working families — not institutional investors — can buy them.
