Today, Congressman Wiley Nickel (NC-13) joined his fellow members of the New Democrat Coalition Affordable Housing Task Force to unveil their housing action plan that outlines the affordable housing challenges we are facing, the steps Democrats in Congress and the White House have already taken, and the road that lies ahead to make housing more affordable. 

The housing action plan includes more than 20 policy recommendations that would make improvements to five key factors in affordable housing: the housing supply, permitting and zoning laws, federal financial incentives, the construction workforce, and data collection and transparency.


“The affordable housing action plan that I’m unveiling today outlines some of the work that House Democrats have accomplished and what we need to do to address affordable housing challenges in North Carolina and across the country,” said Congressman Wiley Nickel. “As a Vice Chair of the New Democrat Coalition Affordable Housing Task Force, I’ll continue to put forward common-sense ideas and solutions to build more affordable housing, increase affordable housing access, and tackle this crisis.”
