Support the American Homeownership Act


Support the American Homeownership Act
The Issue
Housing should be about building communities, not corporate portfolios.
If you agree that homes should belong to families — not hedge funds — add your name to show your support for the American Homeownership Act.
Corporate landlords own nearly 450,000 single family homes, more than 2.2 million apartments, and are the largest owners of mobile home communities in America.
In 2025 alone, they bought nearly 1 in every 6 homes sold. In some neighborhoods, private equity owns a quarter of the homes on the block.
When Wall Street moves in, families pay the price. Rents go up, junk fees pile on, maintenance gets ignored, and evictions spike. All while these firms pocket federal tax breaks and federally backed mortgages, subsidies funded by American taxpayers.
Here’s what the American Homeownership Act will do:
End Wall Street's tax breaks. Corporate landlords lose their housing deductions, federally backed mortgages, and access to foreclosed homes. Small landlords and builders keep their benefits. Corporate speculators don't.
Reinvest the savings in families. Those billions go straight back into building more homes and helping working families buy them.
Break up housing monopolies. Close the loopholes, letting corporations quietly corner local markets and make any deal that controls more than 30% of a local market presumed illegal.
The housing crisis demands action from every angle.
