Housing and Homelessness

People have a right to a home and to be secure in their
tenancy. However the supply of affordable housing is not meeting the need, while in an
era of increasing deregulation, many tenants are losing important legal protections. 

Our solution to fix this problem is to:

1. Guarantee tenant's rights

2. Enact and enforce strong penalties for landlords who violate these rights.

3. Fund public and non-profit tenant-related counseling and legal assistance for renters.

4. Defend and expand cities

5. Provide for publicly elected Rent Control/Stabilization Boards Preserve and Increase
Affordable Housing Supply

Health Care

The Green Party supports single-payer universal health care and
preventive care for all. We believe that healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Our
current healthcare system lets tens of thousands of people die each year by
excluding them from adequate care, while its exorbitant costs are crippling our
economy. The United States is the only industrialized nation in the world without
a national health care system.
Our Solution to fix this problem is to:

1. Enact a universal, comprehensive, national single-payer  health plan that will provide the following with no increase in cost

2. The Green Party calls for comprehensive, humane, and competent care of all
people with HIV/AIDS.
