Americans for Financial Reform

Check out Caroline’s testimony in Congress and then donate to fund the fight to stop Wall Street from driving the housing crisis now!

Housing is becoming unaffordable by design. Wall Street investors are buying up homes, outbidding families with cash, and turning housing into a profit engine instead of a place to live. Corporate landlords are raising rents, piling on junk fees, cutting maintenance, and pushing evictions while families are stretched to the breaking point.


This crisis did not happen on its own. It is the result of corporate consolidation, private equity speculation, and policy choices that favor investors over renters, homeowners, and first-time buyers. Manufactured housing communities, one of the last sources of truly affordable housing, are being stripped for profit as private equity hikes lot rents and forces people out.


Americans for Financial Reform is fighting back by exposing Wall Street’s role in the housing crisis and pushing for real solutions, including cracking down on corporate landlords, banning rental junk fees, strengthening tenant protections, and restoring fair lending and homebuyer assistance programs.


Corporate landlords have deep pockets and powerful lobbyists. We rely on people like you to counter their influence and demand a housing system that works for people, not investors.


Contribute to Americans for Financial Reform and fund the fight to stop Wall Street from profiting off the housing crisis now.
