Housing

“Demand for housing is exceeding the supply and the lack of affordable housing for many has become an epidemic. Everyone deserves decent, safe, affordable housing; anything less than this is not an option. Shelter is a basic human need, and housing is a fundamental human right. It should be a Constitutional right.”  –Alma Adams 

Congresswoman Adams recognizes that the issue of housing affects each and every one of us, whether you are rich or poor, and regardless of your ethnicity. Everyone in this country deserves a decent, affordable place to call home. By making housing affordable, Congress can position individuals to become homeowners, which will undoubtedly strengthen the middle class and our overall economy.

She has continuously worked to protect home buyers by voting against measures that remove housing counseling and important disclosure requirements when receiving a mortgage. She also supports measures that will promote affordable housing for some of our most vulnerable communities including seniors, low income families, and veterans.

 

Housing Accomplishments

  • Secured over $100 million for Emergency Rental Assistance in Charlotte and Mecklenburg, and facilitated community events with RAMP CLT to make sure all of our neighbors in need could keep a roof over their heads during COVID-19. 
  • Introduced the bipartisan LIFELINE Act (H.R. 7078) to allow cities, counties, and states to use their Fiscal Recovery Fund dollars to maintain a robust pipeline of affordable housing developments.
