Today, Smart Growth America and our coalition of real estate developers and investors, LOCUS, are launching a new platform: A Call for Action on federal real estate programs.
This platform unites neighborhood advocates, real estate developers and budget hawks. We’re coming together to help middle class families and the communities they live in.
Together, we can help more people have access to affordable homes and save for their first down payment. We can leverage private investment to rebuild America’s infrastructure, and we can revitalize communities across the country.
The best part about this new platform is that we can do all this in a fiscally responsible way. Our recommendations outline ways Congress could streamline programs, make federal spending more effective, and even help programs better achieve their stated goals all while saving over $30 billion annually.
In this fiscal climate, Congress can’t afford not to make changes to these programs.
