Affordable housing is personal to me. I’ve lived in Bethlehem my whole life and have seen too many neighbors priced out of the community they love. As a City Council member, I will prioritize people over profit by working to create and preserve affordable units through smart zoning, adaptive reuse of vacant buildings, and partnerships with nonprofits.
