Cost of Home

Help DuPage Habitat make the Cost of Home something we can all afford.

From city hall to Congress, candidates must rise to the American housing affordability challenge.

Among the policies highlighted in the agenda are:

  • Expanding down payment and closing cost assistance to give low-wealth households a fair chance at homeownership;
  • Creating 500,000 opportunity vouchers to help very low-income families access affordable homes in neighborhoods with opportunities; and
  • Passing the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act, or NHIA, to rehabilitate homes in distressed communities.
