The United States’ housing and inflation crises are deeply connected — and Joe Biden isn’t doing much about them.

“As of now, the Biden administration is dangerously silent on the single biggest line item in Americans’ budgets: their rent,” says Tara Raghuveer, a Kansas City–based tenant advocate and director of the People’s Action Homes Guarantee campaign. Her group brought one hundred tenants to both the White House and Congress last month, calling for an executive order that would slow the skyrocketing increases in the cost of rent.

Tenant, housing, and legal advocacy groups have even drafted the order for Biden to sign. It calls for rent control in all properties backed by federally guaranteed mortgages and in all cities and states that apply for federal block grant funding, along with investigations and prosecutions for rent price gouging as an unfair and deceptive practice prohibited by federal law. Together, these provisions would impact tens of millions of US renter households.
