Owning a home is one of the fundamental tenants of the American Dream — but that dream is becoming increasingly out of reach for millions, thanks to the greed of Wall Street.
Ever since the Great Recession, private equity investors have been snapping up tens of thousands of homes across the country with the deliberate goal of shutting hard-working American families out of being homeowners.
Demand Congress pass Jeff Merkely's bill to end the private equity takeover of American homes!
To make matters worse, private equity companies are TERRIBLE landlords. The drive to maximize profits now means that they offer fewer services and delay maintenance while being remorseless about raising rents and evicting tenants.
If they had their way, nobody would ever buy a house again — we'd all be forced to rent forever, tithing away our incomes to the 1% while never being able to build and wealth or equity for the middle class.
Senator Jeff Merkely has introduced a bill to BAN hedge funds from taking over the housing market, driving up prices, and making homes even more unaffordable. We need to pass it ASAP!
Tell Congress to pass the bill to stop Wall Street's takeover of American housing!
