In a recent op-ed published by the New York Times, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton discussed her
plans for combatting family poverty. With 11.4 million households spending more than half their monthly
income on rent, Clinton plans to expand the Low Income Housing Tax Credit to increase the supply of
affordable housing and fuel broader community development.
“My plan would expand Low Income Housing Tax Credits in high-cost areas to increase our affordable
housing supply, and fuel broader community development. So if you are a family living in an expensive
city, you would be able to find an affordable place to call home and have access to the transportation you
need to get to good jobs and quality schools,” stated Clinton.
