Charleston should be the first city in West Virginia to implement a Homes Guarantee which would include:

  • $5 million per year toward: starting a public benefit corporation to put unemployed people to work building/refurbishing homes;
  • creating a no-barrier housing option; increasing public housing by 1,000 units within 10 years; facilitating safe camping sites with access to services;
  • and putting the Charleston Land Re-use Agency (CLRA) in the hands of renters, formerly houseless and houseless people.
