What this bill would do

The Make Housing Affordable and Defend Democracy Act aims to reduce specific immigration enforcement funds while creating new tax credits to increase housing access. It permanently rescinds $175,660,630,000.00 from various Department of Defense, Customs and Border Protection, and Department of Homeland Security programs. The bill introduces a First-Time Homebuyer Credit, a Starter Home Construction Credit, and an Affordable Housing Conversion Credit. Additionally, it establishes a Renter Tax Credit and a boost for Low-Income Housing Tax Credit projects serving extremely low-income households. These changes are intended to shift financial focus toward housing affordability and individual residential access.
