Federal Taxation

With home values rising across the country, federal tax policy plays a critical role in addressing America’s housing affordability issues and ensuring homeowners can keep up with rising state and local property taxes.

As a non-profit, non-partisan organization, The Alliance is working to advance policies to safeguard property ownership and expand tax benefits that support homeowners and housing providers.

Restoring Homeowner Tax Incentives

Buying a home is a smart investment, but a growing tax burden on homeowners poses a threat to the benefits it offers. Owning a home is one of the best ways to build generational wealth and strengthen your community. Property owner tax dollars contribute to local schools, first responders, public parks, critical infrastructure and more. Despite the widely recognized value of homeownership, key homeowner tax incentives are diminishing while property taxes rise with increasing home values.

The cap on state and local tax deductions increasingly impacts middle-class homeowners who face rising property taxes.

To safeguard the value of homeownership for building wealth and strong communities, it is essential for decisionmakers to restore state and local tax deductions and relieve the growing tax burden on homeowners.

Join Us in calling on Congress to restore critical property owner tax incentives!

Incentivizing the Development of Affordable Homes

America faces a housing affordability crisis that demands drastic solutions. Luxury real estate is more profitable than building affordable homes, making it essential to incentivize the development of affordable homes and rentals to meet the current demand.

America needs to build 3.2 million homes and 4.3 million apartments to address the current affordable housing shortage.

There are bipartisan policies that can expand federal tax incentives to rapidly increase the development of affordable homes and rentals across the country. Decisionmakers must see these policies through to address America’s housing crisis and improve access to the wealth-building benefits of homeownership.
