When<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.harris.senate.gov\/news\/press-releases\/amid-rising-costs-of-housing-harris-introduces-bill-to-provide-rent-relief\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> announcing the bill<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Senator Harris said, \u201cAmerica\u2019s affordable housing crisis has left too many families behind who struggle each month to keep a roof over their head. This bill will ensure no family is priced out of the basic security of a place to live.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If passed, the Rent Relief Act\u2019s tax credit will apply to individual renters earning up to $100,000, or $125,000 in areas with high housing costs like San Francisco. It will be refundable, which means renters will get the money even if they owe no taxes after deductions. The credit would reimburse the difference between 30% of a household\u2019s income and the cost of their rent and utilities, capped at 150% of the area Fair Market Rent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Very low-income renters will receive a dollar-for-dollar credit for rent paid above 30% of their incomes. Renters with higher incomes would receive less credit on a sliding scale. Renters earning below $25,000 would get 100% of the credit, those earning $25,000-$50,000 would get 75% of the credit, those earning $50,000-$75,000 would get 50% of the credit and those earning $75,000-$100,000 would get 25% of the credit. Households in federally subsidized housing would claim the value of one month\u2019s rent for a refund, since most federal housing programs cap rent at 30% of adjusted income.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Representative Scott Peters (D-CA) has proposed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/scottpeters.house.gov\/media-center\/press-releases\/rep-peters-introduces-rent-assistance-bill-to-address-high-housing-costs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a companion bill<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to the Rent Relief Act in the House. He said, \u201cIn San Diego, we know that rent and housing costs are rising faster than paychecks&#8230;We need to provide short-term relief for renters, while local, state and federal governments work toward long-term solutions to our nation\u2019s housing shortage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These two bills aren\u2019t the only recent proposals that would give a refundable tax credit to renters. In August, Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) introduced the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/nlihc.org\/sites\/default\/files\/Booker_HOME_Act080218.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Housing, Opportunity, Mobility, and Equity (HOME) Act<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; a refundable tax credit that would benefit renters with earnings at or less than 80% of area median income. The tax credit would cover the difference between 30% of a household\u2019s income and their rent and utility costs. It would be capped at 100% of the area Fair Market Rent.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2441\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2441\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2441\" src=\"https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/senator-booker-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/senator-booker-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/senator-booker-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2441\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In August, Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) introduced the Housing, Opportunity, Mobility, and Equity (HOME) Act; a refundable tax credit that would benefit renters with earnings at or less than 80% of area median income.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The HOME Act would also require local governments that receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to address regulatory and zoning policies that drive up housing costs and limit the private sector\u2019s ability to build rental homes that are affordable to the middle class. The National Low-Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) has a chart comparing the two renter tax credit bills that you can see <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/nlihc.org\/sites\/default\/files\/Factsheet_08022018.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is little hope that any of these bills will be passed in a Republican-controlled Congress. However, a new Congress will convene in January after November\u2019s midterm elections. The bills can be introduced again in the new Congress, and may have a chance to pass if Democrats win control of the House or Senate. Also, Senators Harris and Booker are both considered possible presidential candidates for 2020. This makes it more likely that the issue of renter tax credits will gain more visibility and support over the next two years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If enacted, a renter tax credit would be a huge benefit for low-income renters. It will help stabilize housing by reducing the likelihood of eviction. It will allow families to have more income available to afford the basics, like food or medicine. It will allow many to afford the child care and education they need to get and keep better jobs. Affordable Housing Online will continue to follow the progress of this legislation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can help by telling your Representative and Senators to support renter relief tax credit bills that help families stay in their homes. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/advocacy\/issues\/rent-relief-act\"><b>You can reach your members of Congress by using the form on this page.<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> An email will go straight to your Representative or Senators.
