Fight for an Affordable New Haven!

Fight for an Affordable New Haven!
Our city is growing, but we can’t keep up. Yale and its partner developers are
transforming New Haven into a biotech and travel destination, yet too many families are being priced out and left behind.

We’re in an affordability crisis. Since 2020, rents have skyrocketed by 53%, home unaffordability is up 345%, and the number of unhoused public-school students has doubled to over 1,000.

Corporate short-term rentals like Airbnb and Vrbo are taking housing off the market and making our city more unaffordable. A 2023 report estimates that New Haven needs an additional 8,500 units by 2030 just to stabilize rent prices, and US Census ranks New Haven’s rental market as the second most competitive in the country.

Development should be truly inclusive, and not worsen inequality.

I support an affordability agenda with:
- Affordable Housing: Strict regulations on non-owner-occupied short-term rentals to maximize housing for the local community
- A Fully Funded City: A fully funded city where Yale pays its fair share.
- Better Paying Jobs for Our City: Jobs that allow New Haven families to live and thrive.
