We demand a Homes Guarantee for Philadelphia to combat COVID-19
Philadelphia City Council
America is experiencing a public health crisis. COVID-19 affects and will affect poor and working class community members the most. Rather than prioritizing public money on corporate bailouts, we can stand united with frontline communities to ensure our collective well-being through this crisis and rewrite the rules to build a healthier and stronger country for generations to come.
This crisis illuminates our need for policy that can guarantee housing as a right: a Homes Guarantee.
We demand immediate action to:
Zero out rent and mortgage payments
Provide homes and expanded services for people experiencing homelessness
Stop evictions and seal eviction records
Ensure a just, green recovery and post-pandemic transition for renters, homeowners and public housing residents that includes rent control
If you're with us, co-sign these demands and tell our elected leaders we need comprehensive housing relief now. And call your congressional representative today with these talking points!
