Support for Current & Future Homeowners

In Cambridge, stability begins at home. I believe we must protect the rights of longtime homeowners who have invested in our city and want to remain here. At the same time, we must open new paths to ownership for working families who are being priced out of the very community they serve. Too often, homeownership is treated as a luxury rather than a tool for long-term economic security and civic engagement. I support policies that preserve single- and two-family homes, while also exploring thoughtful zoning reforms that increase ownership opportunities without displacing current residents. This means promoting homeownership models that work, such as limited equity co-ops, land trusts, and first-time buyer assistance. We should reward those who want to put down roots in Cambridge, not push them out. A balanced approach to housing policy ensures that Cambridge remains diverse, intergenerational, and invested in its future. Protecting homeowners and expanding access to ownership aren’t opposing goals; they are part of the same vision. I will fight to make homeownership a reality, not just a dream, for more Cambridge families.
