We must build communities where families can stay and thrive. The housing crisis is breaking up our families. To fix it, we have to stop skipping steps and focus on the basics that allow housing to happen: pipes, permitting and pavement. We cannot have homes without water, sewer capacity, and roads.

• Infrastructure First: Prioritizing the water and wastewater projects necessary to unlock affordable housing developments.

• Streamlined Process: Cutting the red tape that delays construction and drives up costs for local families.

• Functioning Communities: Ensuring that when we build housing, we are also planning for the schools, parks, and safety services that turn a development into a true community.
