"The single greatest threat to our future prosperity, the American Dream and our strong communities is the price of housing. Our kids will never be able to call Utah home if we don't start building starter homes again. With the goal to build 35,000 new starter homes, the Utah First Homes Program would provide new funds for infrastructure, help for homebuyers through grants and sweat equity programs, funding to incentivize innovation and more. Under the leadership of our new Senior Advisor for Housing Strategy and Innovation, Steve Waldrip, Utah can show the rest of the nation how to solve the housing crisis and help Utah families keep the American Dream alive."
