'I believe housing is a human right,' Democratic presidential candidate Julian Castro said.
Democratic presidential candidate Julian Castro says he can end chronic homelessness by 2028.
“I see housing as a human right,” he said in an interview. “Especially in the wealthiest nation on Earth, I don’t think there’s anybody who should go without a safe, decent place to live.” The program serves only 25% of eligible households. Castro called for expanding it to the remaining 75%, transforming the program to “a fully-funded entitlement program” similar to food stamps or Medicaid.
He predicted his plan would end homelessness for veterans and children by the end of his first term and put a stop to chronic homelessness by the end of 2028.Castro also proposed tripling the government’s homeless assistance grants to $7.5 billion. He would also offer a new tax credit for low- and middle-income tenants whose rent exceeds 30% of their income. He plans to detail the rest of his housing agenda Tuesday and Wednesday.
