AFFORDABLE HOUSING

 

Central Texas, particularly U.S. House District 10, is facing a growing crisis of affordable housing. From fast-growing suburbs like Pflugerville and Manor to smaller cities like Brenham and Sealy, working families, seniors, and young professionals are being priced out of the communities they call home. Rising property taxes, stagnant wages, and the unchecked cost of rent have outpaced the ability of everyday Texans to secure stable housing. Meanwhile, teachers, nurses, service workers, and first responders—those who keep our communities running—are often forced to live farther and farther from their jobs, adding to traffic congestion and eroding quality of life.

 

In Congress, leadership on this issue is long overdue. District 10 needs a representative who will advocate for federal investment in mixed-income housing developments, support tax incentives for affordable housing construction, and fight for smart zoning reforms that respect community character while opening doors to homeownership and long-term stability. Safe, affordable housing isn’t a luxury—it’s a foundation for opportunity, and it’s time Central Texas had a champion in Washington who treats it that way.
