Bronx NHS Supports the Homes Act

Affordable Housing Legislation: A possible Game-Changer for the Bronx—And Bronx NHS continues to Lead the Charge 

The housing crisis continues to challenge many Bronx residents, but there is new hope in the form of legislation that could bring much-needed relief. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently introduced the Homes Act, which aims to increase the federal government’s role in developing affordable housing. This bill aligns with Bronx NHS's mission to create equitable access to affordable homeownership for Bronx residents, and we believe it could help address the urgent needs of our community.

The Homes Act would create a new authority within HUD to acquire properties and build permanently affordable homes. It caps rents at 25% of income and offers residents the chance to buy their homes at stable prices. If passed, it could result in 1.25 million homes for low-income families.

At Bronx NHS, we confront the housing crisis daily, working to empower residents

and create pathways to homeownership. The Homes Act and related legislation emphasize the importance of affordable housing for community well-being. As federal and state governments push for greater protections, Bronx NHS ensures these policies translate into real benefits for Bronx families.

Our comprehensive housing services include HUD-certified counseling, affordable loans, and financial literacy training. By working closely with individuals, we help residents not only secure homes but also maintain long-term financial stability, turning homeownership dreams into reality.

While legislation like the Homes Act offers a promising future, organizations like Bronx NHS are essential in transforming these policies into action. We are on the front lines, advocating for residents and helping make affordable homeownership a reality for Bronx families. Your support enables us to continue this critical work, empowering more families, stabilizing neighborhoods, and creating a brighter future for the Bronx.

Your support for Bronx NHS is a powerful investment in the future of our community, ensuring that every family has the opportunity to thrive in a safe and affordable home. Together, we can build a stronger Bronx where every family has the opportunity to own a home and thrive.
