Providence needs more housing, but we have to be strategic about who we build with and how. Connor supports a Permanent Housing Stability Fund - building on the RENT program - so no resident loses their home over a temporary setback, and extending that help to low-income homeowners and seniors facing foreclosure. He'll create pathways to homeownership through closing-cost assistance, targeted tax relief, and help with insurance and mortgage costs, so buying a home stays within reach for local families. He'll partner with developers who have a record of integrity and direct large-scale projects toward vacant and underutilized commercial properties already zoned for housing, instead of incentivizing corporate acquisition of our historic multifamily homes. Those should stay available to families, owner-occupants, and small landlords invested in the neighborhood. Connor also knows there's a difference between a local small landlord and a large operator raising rents across hundreds of units while ignoring mold, lead, and unsafe conditions and he'll put accountability where it belongs. As new affordable units come online, he supports giving teachers, nurses, first responders, and public works employees a fair shot at living in the city they serve.
