Lawmakers across the United States are intensifying their efforts to address the nation's housing crisis through various initiatives and proposed legislation. Key figures like Representatives Jimmy Gomez, Delia Ramirez, and Robert Menendez, alongside Senator Linda Rosenthal, are advocating for increased federal rental assistance, the construction of more affordable housing, and the implementation of policies that ensure housing affordability and sustainability. These efforts are part of a broader movement within the newly formed Renters Caucus, which aims to place renters at the center of federal housing policy. The caucus is pushing for urgent federal assistance to support rent-burdened families and expand housing programs. Additionally, legislative measures such as S.7825/A.5031-A are being promoted to safeguard housing rights and prevent significant rent increases for residents in ground lease co-ops in New York.

As our nation faces a housing crisis, it's clear that Congress must do more to increase affordability & provide opportunities for first time homebuyers.

Over 30k NYers live in ground lease co-ops. Our work to preserve affordable housing must protect them, too. With the help of @GLCoopCoalition, we must pass my bill to prevent residents from having to choose between a massive rent hike or leaving the home they own. #SaveOurHomes https://t.co/7UPDHTFbBF
