Housing is a Human Right

Rent is Too High Campaign Values

I believe housing is a human right, not a commodity.

I am committed to advancing dignified solutions to eradicate homelessness once and for all.

I will advocate for housing policies through a racial, economic, and environmental justice perspective to uplift historically marginalized groups.

I will demand increased investment in the public and social housing supply, along with rental, utility, and eviction relief assistance.
