Housing is a Human Right
In Texas’s 33rd District and across America, families are being pushed out of their neighborhoods by skyrocketing rents, corporate landlords, and a system that puts profit over people. Housing insecurity isn’t just an economic issue — it’s a moral failure that undermines health, education, and opportunity. Zeeshan’s vision is clear: treat housing as a human right, not a commodity. From building millions of affordable community homes to strengthening tenant protections and ending the criminalization of homelessness, this campaign is about restoring dignity, stability, and hope to every family — because a safe, stable home should be the foundation of the American Dream.

Everyone Deserves a Safe, Stable, and Affordable Place to Live
Across Texas and across America, working families, students, seniors, and veterans are being priced out of their own neighborhoods. Rents are skyrocketing, homeownership is out of reach, and homelessness is growing — not because we lack resources, but because our housing system is built for profit, not people.
We believe that housing is a human right, not a commodity for Wall Street investors and short-term rental platforms. Everyone deserves a roof over their head — no exceptions, no excuses.
It’s time to take bold action to restore housing as a public good and guarantee safe, dignified, affordable housing for all.

Expand Rent Control & Strengthen Tenant Protections
Millions of Americans live in fear of eviction, harassment, or rent hikes that force them out of their homes. Renters deserve rights.
- Expand rent control authority to local and state governments — with strong federal backing.
- Cap annual rent increases in high-cost areas and ensure landlords can’t game the system.
- Legal protections against no-cause and retaliatory evictions.
- Access to legal counsel in eviction proceedings.
- Just-cause eviction standards nationwide.
- Create emergency rent relief programs that kick in automatically during economic downturns, natural disasters, or pandemics.
We will::
Pass a national tenants’ bill of rights, including:
No one should lose their home for getting sick, missing a paycheck, or standing up to an abusive landlord.
Build Millions of Affordable Community Housing Units
We don’t have a housing shortage — we have a shortage of affordable housing. That’s why we need to build millions of deeply affordable and social housing units that serve people, not profits.
- Build 12+ million units of non-market, permanently affordable housing.
- Invest in community land trusts, cooperative housing, and public housing modernization.
- Provide major funding to cities like Dallas-Fort Worth to construct housing near jobs, schools, and transit.
- Prioritize homes for low-income families, formerly unhoused individuals, seniors, and people with disabilities.
- Use federal land, buildings, and tax incentives to drive down development costs and fast-track construction.
Our plan is to launch a federal Homes for All Initiative to:
This is how we end the housing crisis — by building our way out, the right way.

End Discriminatory Zoning and Crack Down on Corporate Landlords

- Fund supportive housing for veterans, youth, domestic violence survivors, and people with mental illness or addiction.
- Demand that all redistricting be conducted by independent, nonpartisan commissions — with full transparency and public input.
- End criminalization of homelessness — replace police-led sweeps with housing outreach and case management.
- Expand emergency shelter capacity and long-term rehousing programs, especially in cities like Dallas that are facing rising unsheltered homelessness.
Homelessness is a policy failure, not a moral failing. We have the resources to end it — what we need is the political will.
We will::
You don’t solve homelessness with handcuffs. You solve it with housing.
