Harris-Walz Campaign Highlights National Housing Conference Endorsement and New Economic Ads

Yesterday, the National Housing Conference (NHC), the oldest and most comprehensive coalition of housing advocates in America, praised Vice President Kamala Harris’ ambitious four-year plan aimed at addressing America's housing shortage and lowering housing costs for working families.

As detailed in her recent speech in North Carolina, Vice President Harris outlined a robust plan that includes cracking down on exploitative landlords, calling for the construction of three million new homes, and providing support for first-time homebuyers to make homeownership more accessible to Americans.

In an effort to ensure voters are aware of this plan, the Harris-Walz campaign has launched a major ad blitz. Since the Democratic National Convention, the campaign has aired four new economic ads, including "Full House," which directly communicates Harris’ housing cost reduction plans to voters.

Key Points:

“The presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris has intensified its focus on housing affordability, releasing a highly detailed policy agenda, emphasizing housing costs in her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, and debuting her first major 60-second ad on economic policy last week…”

“While NHC does not endorse candidates, the plan aligns with policies we have long championed, demonstrating seriousness and detail for a campaign position paper released only a few weeks into her candidacy. If implemented, it could significantly impact the housing crisis…”

“Taken together, the Harris-Walz ticket can be rightfully regarded as the first presidential campaign led by two bona fide housing advocates. Their plan is comprehensive, serious, and impactful, with many elements receiving bipartisan support.”

This endorsement underscores the Harris-Walz campaign's commitment to addressing housing affordability and supporting working families.
