What is Bob Brooks' position on housing affordability?

Alongside healthcare, housing affordability is one of the biggest financial stressors Bob Brooks hears about from Lehigh Valley families. Housing costs have risen far faster than wages, driven by a shortage of affordable starter homes, high construction costs worsened by tariff policies, and insufficient federal investment in housing programs.

Brooks will fight in Congress for serious investment in affordable housing — cutting red tape that delays construction, supporting community and non-profit housing developers, and rolling back tariff policies that raise the cost of building materials. He believes housing, like healthcare and a living wage, is a foundational issue for working families that Washington has ignored for too long.
