In the 117th Congress, Horsford first introduced the HOME Act, now H.R. 702 in the 118th Congress, to deal with the housing affordability crisis that was growing due to corporate landlords buying up single family homes and other properties, pricing out first-time home buyers including veterans and single-mothers, while also artificially driving up rental prices. Now, the White House has announced major new actions to lower housing costs. “Housing is a fundamental issue that affects all aspects of our lives, from economic stability to health and education. Today's announcement by President Biden is a significant step forward in addressing the housing crisis in Southern Nevada and across the country, but we must continue to push for more comprehensive solutions to ensure everyone has a fair shot at owning a home and living safely and securely,” saidCongressmanHorsford. “This proposed policy to cap rent increases at 5% targets large landlords with more than 50 units and encourages rent stabilization by making it less attractive for corporate landlords to raise rents because they would lose valuable tax benefits if they did. My HOME Act would give the President the flexibility to define a housing emergency and protect renters from the egregious price increases we have seen in the last few years.” Today’s announcement takes action to make renting more affordable for millions of Americans and takes immediate steps to address housing access and affordability in Nevada. Today, President Biden announced he would be: Calling on Congress to pass legislation giving corporate landlords a choice to either cap rent increases on existing units at 5% or risk losing current valuable federal tax breaks; Repurposing public land sustainably to enable as many as 15,000 additional affordable housing units to be built in Nevada; and Rehabilitating distressed housing, building more affordable housing, and revitalizing neighborhoods, including in Las Vegas, Nevada. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:32:29Z |
