Last year, Trump and Republicans let Affordable Care Act credits expire and cut over $1.5 trillion from Medicaid & Medicare to give billionaires a tax cut. Whether you rely on Medicaid, Medicare, the ACA marketplace, or job-based health insurance, the cost of your care will go up next year as their cruel cuts continue to take effect.

Washington, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland (WA-10) and Congressman David P. Joyce (OH-14) introduced a bipartisan Multigenerational HOMES (Housing Opportunities for Modifying Existing Structures) Act. The bill is one of a kind in that it will provide a tax credit for homeowners who renovate their homes to accommodate an elderly family member, a family member with a disability, or a family member who will be a live-in caregiver. “This bill helps keep families under one roof at all stages of life if they choose to care for their aging family members,” said Strickland. “The tax credit provides families with additional in-home care options.” “As a member of the Congressional Assisting Caregivers Today Caucus, I know how important it is to give families the flexibility to provide care without leaving the homes and communities they know,” said Congressman Joyce. “The Multigenerational HOMES Act would help families adapt their existing homes to meet their changing needs, making it easier for loved ones to live together while making better use of our existing housing stock. By giving families more options to share a home and care for one another, we can reduce the costs and pressures of finding additional housing while empowering families to make the decisions that work best for them.” The tax credit can be used to make renovations such as adding handrails, stairlifts, wider doorways, and separate entrances. This makes it more affordable for families who choose the option of in-home caregiving for aging relatives. “NAHB commends Rep. Strickland for introducing legislation to help families remain in their homes. The Multigenerational HOMES Act would provide a tax credit for homeowners to make renovations that accommodate family members with accessibility needs or disabilities. Caregivers face many challenges, and supporting their ability to keep loved ones together under one roof is both important and beneficial,” said Bill Owens, Chairman, National Association of Home Builders. “Families live and care across generations, even when our homes and public systems are not designed that way. The Multigenerational HOMES Act would help families create safer, more accessible homes where older adults, people with disabilities, caregivers, and loved ones of every age can remain connected and supported. This is prevention through connection – and a practical investment in family stability, independence, and dignity,” said Kristen Kiefer, Executive Director, Generations United. The legislation is endorsed by: AARP, Generations United, the National Association of Home Builders, and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. ###

Republicans used the power of their House majority to bend the knee to Trump — House Democrats are ready to hold him and his Administration accountable. Next Congress, our first responsibility will be to deliver an agenda that will make life easier and more affordable for Americans. https://t.co/GpqXUadW2F

Passing a bill through the House is just the first step. Though there will be obstacles working with a narrowly-divided Senate and the White House, House Democrats are ready to get back to responsible governing that improves the lives of all Americans. https://t.co/jNgGmrsGSG

Mike Johnson has canceled 63 days of votes during this session of Congress and the House has only been in session for 72 days this year. Instead of finding bipartisan ways to lower costs for families, Republican leadership consistently sent members home to avoid tough votes and standing up to Trump.

Trump has kicked over 5 million hungry Americans off of food stamps. On this anniversary of #SNAP we have to remember the importance of this federal program that helps put food on the table for families and seniors across this country. https://t.co/IhRv9pYuj1

When Democrats are in control of the House, we will continue to prioritize voting rights, labor & union rights, affordable housing, eliminating Trump’s tariffs, and other issues that will make life easier for all Americans. https://t.co/WfonMFrAgO

Under Republican leadership, Congress has not been working for the American people. Whether it be reversing their cruel cuts to healthcare and food assistance or holding the Trump Administration accountable, House Democrats are ready to set us back on track. https://t.co/mcThNNb2En

On Gold Star Mothers and Families Day, we have to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice - and what that means for those who love them most. The sacrifices of service members and their families will never be forgotten.

From Mt. Tahoma to Capitol State Forest and all the neighborhood green spaces in between, public lands are an essential part of our communities and history. This #NationalPublicLands Day, we celebrate our parks, forests, trails, and public spaces as we are reminded of our obligation to protect and preserve them for future generations.

Life insurance can replace income, protect education and retirement savings, help a family remain in their home, and keep a business operating after the loss of someone essential. This #LifeInsuranceAwarenessMonth, we highlight the importance of financial security and peace of mind for families when waiting isn’t an option.
