Make Housing Affordable and Defend Democracy Act

This bill creates several tax credits to increase housing affordability for individuals and families. It establishes a first-time homebuyer credit of up to $25,000 (or $50,000 for first-generation homebuyers) for purchasing a principal residence, with income limits based on household size. It also creates a starter home construction credit for building homes under 1,200 square feet priced below 80% of local median home prices, and a renter tax credit for tenants paying more than 30% of their income in rent. Additionally, it provides a credit for converting non-residential buildings to affordable housing that meets specific income and rent restrictions. The bill includes provisions for inflation adjustments and reporting requirements for these tax credits.
