Expand health, child care, financial and nutrition services for families and individuals to stay on a path to unassisted housing stability; 3. Greatly increase the production of deeply affordable housing for families exiting homelessness and for low-income households by investing in effective, efficient existing programs and reforming the tax code to strengthen the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) to weather the economic fallout from the pandemic, as well as establish a Renter's Tax Credit and Middle- Income Housing Tax Credit (MIHTC); 4. Invest in homeownership in underserved communities and for low-income Americans with new tax credits and downpayment assistance, including a down payment tax credit for first-time homebuyers; and 5.
