    We suggest replacing this item with:

    "We support increased assistance to people who need help to pay for housing."

    SUGGESTIONS FOR THE 2009 MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

    Substantive Changes

    Housing
    REW0RD AND AMEND
    Existing. “We believe home-ownership strengthens individuals, families and communities, and we support subsidies, low-interest loans, and mortgages, in order to encourage home-ownership, particularly for first-time buyers.” “Strengthens” is pejorative for renters. Why not use “is of substantial value.” Also, there is a need to address sub-prime and other exploitive activities.
    My suggestion: “We believe home-ownership is of substantial value to individuals, families and communities and we support subsidies, low-interest loans and mortgages that are not exploitive and will not put the borrowers at risk of losing their equity. These efforts should encourage first time home buying.”
