What it means for your household Under $30,000
This bill could help you save money for your first home, but you'd still need steady income to qualify for a mortgage.
$30,000-$60,000
You would likely benefit most from this savings program since you earn enough for a home loan but struggle to save for a down payment.
$60,000-$100,000
This could help you buy a home faster by making it easier to save for a down payment.
Over $100,000
You probably already have ways to save for a home, so this bill wouldn't change much for your family.
What you can do right now Your voice carries more weight when it comes from the people a policy affects.
