Housing
We should never discount the fact that home ownership is a large part of the American Dream.
The effects of instability in the housing and financial markets on individuals and families have been more severe here in South Florida than in many other areas of the country. While the housing market has recently shown signs of strengthening in some neighborhoods, many families are still experiencing financial distress. We should never discount the fact that home ownership is a large part of the American Dream. During this long and slow economic recovery, I will continue to support long-term, fiscally-sound housing policies that protect responsible homeowners first and foremost.
