Affordability crisis solutions for Latino families

Affordability Agenda for America — Remove Barriers. Reduce Prices.

For millions of Hispanics, the American Dream feels harder to reach than it did a generation ago. At the heart of that challenge is affordability. Housing costs have soared. Energy prices swing unpredictably. Even basic projects — from new homes to power lines — can take years, even decades, to be approved.

72% of voters agree: The affordability crisis is the result of a system that has become slower and more expensive — not because Americans stopped working hard.

We’ve taken a major positive step forward with the Working Families Tax Cuts, protecting Latino families from higher taxes, supporting small businesses, and rolling back costly regulations that drive up prices. But decades of barriers can’t be undone overnight.

The path ahead is clear: an affordability agenda focused on abundance, competition, and opportunity, empowering Latinos to build and create without unnecessary government obstacles.

The Problem

Over time, layers of regulation and restrictive zoning have made it harder to build the homes Americans need.

Today, most health care dollars flow through complex government programs and insurance middlemen, making care more expensive and harder to navigate.

Demand for electricity and fuel is rising, but it’s become too hard to build the energy infrastructure we need.

If Americans need more housing, we should make it easier to build.

Cutting red tape and reforming zoning laws allows more homes and apartments to come online — and when supply increases, prices fall.

Health care works best when patients — not insurers or government programs — are in control.

Expanding access to health savings accounts and direct primary care gives families more choice, greater transparency, and lower costs.

There’s no silver bullet to bring down grocery prices.

Energy, transportation, labor costs, and inflation all drive what families pay at checkout. Reducing government-imposed barriers throughout the economy helps lower those costs without expanding bureaucracy.

More energy means lower energy costs.

When we make it easier to build energy infrastructure, we increase supply, strengthen reliability, and bring prices down. That requires streamlining permitting and modernizing outdated rules so projects can move faster.
