The resolution urges the U.S. President and Congress to enact legislation similar to the Eviction Crisis Act of 2019 and the Family Stability and Opportunity Vouchers Act of 2019. It highlights the critical need for stable housing, emphasizing that a secure home significantly improves outcomes in employment, health, and education for individuals and families. The resolution points out the alarming statistics regarding housing instability, including that three out of four low-income households in need of assistance are denied federal help due to underfunding, and that millions of families face eviction or live in unsafe conditions.

The resolution further details the impact of eviction on families, citing that in 2016 alone, there were 2.3 million eviction filings in the U.S., with one in 50 renters being evicted. It notes that many low-income households spend over half of their income on housing, leaving them vulnerable to financial instability. The proposed Eviction Crisis Act aims to improve eviction data and reduce preventable evictions, while the Family Stability and Opportunity Vouchers Act seeks to create additional housing vouchers for low-income families. The resolution calls for Congress to introduce and pass similar legislation to ensure that all families have access to affordable and stable housing.
