We have an affordable housing crisis and Trump is making it much worse.
That is why today we are proposing the most progressive housing plan in history.
Safe, decent, affordable housing should not be a privilege. It should be a right. #HousingForAll

2020 praise from @AaronDFordNV comes today to @BernieSanders, for his new housing plan
"I appreciate Senator Sanders offering bold solutions to address the housing crisis here in Nevada and nationwide."
Bernie Sanders Retweeted
"We need a #HomesGuarantee." @BernieSanders
This historic, grassroots-sourced plan includes:
Millions of social homes
Massive reinvestment in public housing
National rent control
Decarbonization
Commitment to END homelessness
A better world is within reach.
The climate crisis will affect every area of our lives, including housing. Guaranteeing green, affordable housing as a right through the Green New Deal is not only morally necessary, it is overwhelmingly popular with the American people. #HousingForAll
My parents never made much money, but we kept a roof over our heads because we lived in a rent-controlled apartment.
Landlords cannot be allowed to raise rents to whatever they want, whenever they want.
We need national rent control. #HousingForAll

@BernieSanders housing plan directs $50 billion to community land trusts.
And lots, lots more. Like $1.48 trillion (trillion!) over 10 years to the National Housing Trust Fund. #OurHomesOurVotes2020
This is the richest country in the history of the world. No one in America should be homeless. #HousingForAll

New: Bernie Sanders has announced his "Housing for All" plan this a.m. In it, Sanders is proposing a national rent cap of 3% or 1.5 times the CPI to "prevent the exploitation of tenants."

"We need a homes guarantee." -@BernieSanders
Nearly 10 million homes through the NHTF, social housing, Community Land Trusts, and other housing programs
Section 8 for everyone who qualifies
End homelessness
National rent control
And so much more
Bernie Sanders Retweeted
Another day, another bold housing plan from a leading presidential candidate! Thank you @BernieSanders for laying out your vision to end homelessness and housing poverty. #OurHomesOurVotes2020
There are 3,000+ counties in the United States. A minimum wage worker can afford to rent a one-bedroom home in just 28 of them.
That is a national crisis.
My #HousingForAll plan will build the nearly 10 million new housing units our nation needs to guarantee housing as a right.

This intro is
When I was a young man I had a job pushing crates of soda onto a truck from a warehouse, and my wages were very good. When I asked someone why, they said, “You’re working at a Teamsters shop.”

A note to anyone who wants to use union members as a wedge to oppose #MedicareForAll: @UAW has one of the best plans in the country, but management can still use it to hold workers hostage. #M4A puts power back in our hands. #1u
Bernie Sanders Retweeted
The @UAW autoworkers on strike shouldn’t have to fight for basic healthcare.
With @BernieSanders' Medicare for All, they will no longer have to and employers will have to compensate union workers for extra health care benefits they’ve negotiated in the past.
It is not Congress that regulates the pharmaceutical industry. It is the pharmaceutical industry that regulates Congress.
This is cruel, outrageous and a blatant attempt to force the union into submission. It is the type of corporate greed that the American people are sick and tired of. I say to GM: Restore the health care benefits that your workers have earned and deserve.
