Housing

Housing is key to reducing intergenerational poverty and increasing economic mobility.

Overview

We need to make housing that is affordable for San Bernardino’s most low- income populations. Due to our current economic climate, home ownership has become increasingly difficult. As a result of rising costs of living and stagnant wages, housing has become an impossibility when any potential mortgage savings are at risk when a medical emergency, accident, death, job loss or a combination of the above occurs. In any of these cases the possibility of home ownership becomes majorly set back unless residents have access to some type of capital such as years’ worth of savings, a vehicle they can sell, or the like. In11 some cases, personal emergencies even mean the loss of current housing, in which case future home ownership is lost as an option altogether.

Our Goal

 

To make housing affordable, accessible and anti-discriminatory in San Bernardino.

We believe housing is a human right. To have access to a home provides the security to be an active participant in the community and overall economy. We propose a multi-pronged housing strategy to address the housing crisis and the way it affects different people at different income levels.This includes funding for homeless shelters, transitional housing, support services, affordable housing development, policies that allow for the creation of alternative housing models, supporting more types of housing cooperatives, Community Land Trusts, accessible home buyer education, stricter taxes on vacant lot speculation owners, and policies that enable formerly incarcerated individuals to have access to affordable housing. We support the expansion of affordable housing in major developments such as the Carousel Mall redevelopment in downtown San Bernardino, a site that could be transformative to the city and its housing development. We are opposed to criminalizing homelessness, including use of policing to harass people and evict residents from their homes.
