As your constituent, I am writing today to tell you that I like policymakers on both sides of the aisle agree that a significant investment in infrastructures should be a top priority. But without access to affordable homes, investments in transportation and infrastructure will fall short of creating vibrant communities.

To maximize the impact on long-term economic growth, any infrastructure package should include resources to increase the supply of affordable homes for families with the lowest incomes. Housing is infrastructure because, like roads and bridges, affordable homes are a long-term asset that help communities and families thrive.

Preservation and new construction of affordable housing infrastructure will bolster productivity and economic growth, provide a long-term asset that connects families to communities of opportunity which promotes economic mobility, and support local job creation and increased incomes. In fact, building 100 affordable rental homes generates $11.7 million in local income, $2.2 million in taxes and other revenue for local governments, and 161 local jobs in the first year (National Association of Home Builders).

I urge you to commit to include housing investments in any infrastructure package, including $70 billion to repair public housing and $5 billion for the national Housing Trust Fund as included in Representative Maxine Waters’ (H.R. 5187) Housing is Infrastructure Act.
