Housing Affordability
Housing Affordability
Montanans are being priced out of our state and we’re at risk of our greatest export being the next generation. With residential home prices skyrocketing, hard working people have found themselves fighting tooth and nail to just get by as their income goes to rent and home-ownership seems like a distant dream. Home prices in Montana have nearly doubled in 5 years. That’s unacceptable. And we’re going to fix it.
End Corporations And Wall Street From Buying Up Our Housing Supply
We need to end the practice of residential homes being bought up by Wall Street Hedge Funds and corporations. Our families and our future shouldn’t be used to pad their bottom lines. We need Montanan names on Montana’s homes.
Expand Federal First-Time-Homebuyer Tax Credits
Ensure that our next generation of Montanans are equipped with opportunities to stay in their communities and build their families.
Incentivize Affordable Housing Construction
Ensure that housing investment is done intentionally. Large investments in building out our housing supply based on community needs that may vary. We can support this federally by investing in utility expansion (roads, water, electric, septic) into new areas for development. We also need to incentivize contractors to focus on lower to middle income homes that every day Montanans want to move into - and can afford.
