Enterprise Community Partners, a national nonprofit organization, has released its 2021 Playbook: Making Homes Places of Pride, Power and Belonging: Enterprise's Policy Priorities for 2021. From solutions on how to address coronavirus (COVID-19)-related housing difficulties to eliminating racial disparities in the housing market, the 2021 playbook includes 47 evidence-based recommendations that the Biden-Harris Administration and Congress could implement to ensure safe, stable and affordable housing for all Americans. The recommendations include proposals to address affordable housing needs that fall under the following priorities: 1. Implementing housing solutions to overcome the medical and economic impacts of COVID-19, supporting an equitable recovery; 2. Increasing investments in federal programs that create and preserve affordable housing; 3. Creating housing policies that address systemic racial inequities and end cycles of poverty; 4. Providing resources to address climate change and improve disaster recovery and resilience; 5. Ensuring that housing finance reforms and Community Reinvestment Act modernization strengthen and expand affordable housing investments; 6. Supporting investments in housing as part of our nation's infrastructure; and 7. Implementing a range of programs to prevent and end homelessness.
