Tackling the Housing Crisis
New Hampshire’s housing challenges have reached a crisis point. Average home prices are now over half a million dollars and rising; there are not nearly enough vacant rentals to meet demand, and we will soon be 90,000 housing units short if we fail to act. That is why Chris is fighting to tackle the housing crisis, lower costs for Granite Staters, and put homeownership back within reach for everyone.
Chris is working to make homeownership a reality for more Granite Staters by cutting red tape for communities to build more homes, providing tax cuts to help first-time home buyers, and supporting the financing and development of affordable housing. Chris is also fighting to restore the expanded Child Tax Credit, a middle-class tax cut that will put more money back in Granite Staters’ pockets to help them afford rent, their mortgage, and everyday necessities.
In the U.S. Senate, Chris will continue to prioritize making housing more accessible and affordable, streamlining bureaucracy and incentivizing more construction, and bringing together private and public sector leaders to develop solutions that meet the needs of communities in every corner of our state.
