Getting more affordable housing built through Housing Hub partnerships: Through the Housing Hub we launched in 2018, we'll provide additional low-interest loans to add tens of thousands more homes for middle income families. We'll expand the role of this innovative team to partner with non-profit and co-op housing providers to acquire and preserve existing rental housing. We'll also instruct the Housing Hub to look for new pathways to home ownership through rent-to-own or other equity-building programs.
