Taryn Bragdon, CEO of the Foundation for Government Accountability, joins Right to the Point for a special episode to break down the RSC's plan for making homeownership affordable again alongside FGA Senior Fellow April Martin. The two dig into why creditworthy Americans are stuck renting, from crushing down payment requirements to frozen inventory caused by locked-in low interest rates. Martin walks through the polling: 93% say housing costs are too high, and nearly 70% of renters want a single-family home, not a government housing unit.
Bragdon lays out the RSC's reconciliation framework to get it done, covering zero to low down payment options, mortgage assumability and portability, rent-to-own capital gains relief, and letting Americans use retirement savings to help loved ones buy a home. Each reform polls at 70 to 80 percent. Now it's time to get it across the finish line.
