In the end, The Hill lied and Harris was right.

Yeah, it was a shame it was so restrictive, literally was also set for a limit of 400,000 individuals when first proposed too.
Its a criticism of the garbage solutions that were brought forward for good headlines rather than actual support.

You keep making shit up. One million > 400,000.
This is from Harris's campaign announcement. The extension to millions would be the 4 year plan. And was adjusted again after Biden's original proposal of this was panned for being what I originally sourced. The very last offering she made by the end of the campaign was looser on restrictions.
I was incorrect, in that she removed the tax credit and made wider eligibility though stated that those still meeting the original criteria would get more assistance, though all would be required to meet the 2 year of proven rental payments through an assured rental agency.
Wow, that's very different from the "must live in government housing" and "only immigrants" that you started with. How many times does your bullshit need to be called out before you tell the truth?
Not government housing. Government assured or recognized rental agencies. For proof of payment. It's part of the boring bureaucracy parts.
And primarily focusing on first generation homebuyers benefits people who have had no previous generations living in the country which is directly beneficial to 1st or second generational immigrants.
I am adjusting my position as I gain further information but the the proposed plans did not just offer free cash to assist the average American in buying a home. That's still at the base of my point and still accurate. I am now aware that the plan was proposed by Biden and adjusted late into the campaign by Harris after backlash for it.
How much conversation does it take to get to the truth? However long it takes for both sides to agree on what it is.
First time home buyer with 2 months of on time rent payments is not that much of a qualifier. And yeah, it has to be actual rent, and not just saying "I paid my uncle in cash."
Yeah, it doesn't help you buy your second home. Yeah, you can't do it at 18 if you haven't moved out of your parents house.
That's about it.
2 years not months.
And there is a lot of single family home renting in the US as landlording is seen as a legitimate income source and investment. Those people would be excluded if not done correctly and that's likely true for a massive portion of them.
And the fact that in a population of 100 million renters in the US it leaves a majority of them out.
