About This Act
Understanding our mission, principles, and approach to policy development.
Mission
The Affordability Act of 2026 exists to provide policymakers, researchers, and the public with a comprehensive, evidence-based proposal for addressing structural affordability challenges in the United States.
Our goal is not advocacy in the traditional sense, but rather the development of well-reasoned policy analysis that can inform legislative deliberation. We seek to elevate the quality of public discourse by providing clear definitions, transparent assumptions, and measurable outcomes.
This Act is offered for consideration by policymakers across the political spectrum. Housing affordability and labor market integrity transcend traditional ideological boundaries.
Guiding Principles
Evidence-Based
All claims are tied to data, research, or clearly labeled estimates. We distinguish between established facts and projected outcomes.
Structurally Focused
We address root causes rather than symptoms. Reforms are designed to change underlying incentives and market dynamics.
Measurable
Every policy proposal includes defined metrics and success criteria. Outcomes can be tracked and evaluated objectively.
Enforceable
Proposals include practical enforcement mechanisms. We avoid policies that cannot be implemented.
Balanced
Safeguards and tradeoffs are explicitly addressed. We acknowledge costs and risks alongside benefits.
Non-Ideological
The Act is not aligned with any political party. We seek solutions that can earn cross-ideological support.
Institutional Posture
We are not a campaign.
We do not seek votes, endorsements, or political power. Our success is measured by the quality of our analysis.
We are not an activist movement.
We do not organize protests, rallies, or grassroots mobilization. Our approach is to inform rather than agitate.
We are not a lobby.
We do not represent specific industries, employers, or interest groups. Our analysis is conducted independently.
