Howie Hawkins on Welfare & Poverty Green Party Challenger for President

Build affordable housing & universal rent control

Reintegrate urban amenities, like walkable mixed-use cities

We will campaign for an urban policy that will reintegrate urban amenities with the natural environment. It would promote walkable mixed-use neighborhoods, convenient and affordable mass transit, clean energy, urban agriculture, green manufacturing, and a massive public housing program that is high quality, mixed income, carbon negative, and scattered site across the city/suburbs divide. It will be a jobs program, a desegregation program, and a clean energy program as well as an affordable housing program.

Expand public works to guarantee an adequate income

Indicate which principles you support regarding welfare and poverty.
• Increase funding for child care programs.
• Support housing assistance for welfare recipients.
• Hawkins adds, “Guarantee the right to a job at living wage or an income above poverty. Public works to guarantee everyone willing and able to work a job doing useful work at a living wage. Basic Income Grants, to guarantee an adequate income sufficient to maintain a modest standard of living above the poverty line.”
