Lt. Gov. Austin Davis Touts Plan to Address Housing Costs at "Putting More Money Back in Your Pockets" Tour Stop in Carbon County

Lt. Gov. Austin Davis heard from local officials, advocates and residents today in Carbon County at a roundtable discussion focused on rising housing costs, which the Shapiro-Davis Administration is addressing through Pennsylvania's first-ever comprehensive Housing Action Plan.

Today's event was the latest stop on LG Davis' "Putting More Money Back in Your Pockets" tour, which has visited Montgomery, Luzerne and Fayette counties to highlight the Shapiro-Davis Administration's ongoing efforts to cut taxes, lower costs and grow the economy.

"As someone who had to put in offers on eight different properties until we finally were able to purchase a new home, I've seen firsthand how out of whack the housing market is in Pennsylvania - with limited supply and few affordable options for young families," said LG Davis. "We need to build more homes, plain and simple, and we need to protect vulnerable people, like our seniors and low-income families, who need more affordable housing. Our Administration has a plan to increase the supply of homes, which will help bring down costs."
