Build more homes for low income families and families in general. We need to stop with the obnoxious student housing prices for family homes
As a single parent currently on the wait list with the housing program, I can say that it'd be great to build more housing for families. Similiar to Habitat for Humanity, there are lots of families out there who are WILLING to put in the work to help build a home, learn that new skill but can't get approved because they simply don't have the credit score. We need to make sure to build more homes and build them in a community that fosters -community- that's safe for children and families, maybe even with a playground and a community garden.

Reward landlords with energy efficient housing
We could give Good landlords (those who invest in repairs and keeping their properties energy efficient) a discount on inspection fees. I know of far too many rental places that would never pass inspection; their properties should be inspected annually and they should be fined until they bring their properties up to standard. How are they getting away with broken windows, lack of outlet covers, pest invasions, moldy bathrooms, etc?
