Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders are reintroducing the "Green New Deal for Public Housing" bill, aiming to invest over $160 billion in upgrading and making public housing energy efficient. The bill seeks to address declining living conditions in public housing, end the 1998 Faircloth Amendment preventing new public housing construction, and create jobs and public health benefits.
