The Democratic presidential nominee called in a New York Times op-ed for a national commitment to lift people out of poverty by creating more affordable housing and investing in neglected neighborhoods.

Clinton wrote that she would expand low income housing tax credits in high-cost areas to increase affordable housing supply if elected president.

"If we want to get serious about poverty, we also need a national commitment to create more affordable housing. This issue doesn’t get much election-year coverage, but it’s a big deal to the 11.4 million American households that spend more than half their incomes on rent," Clinton wrote.

"Too many people are putting off saving for their children or retirement just to keep a roof over their families’ heads."

She added that she would direct 10 percent of federal investments to communities where 20 percent of the population has been living below the poverty line for at least the last 30 years, an approach championed by Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.).

"And we’ll put special emphasis on minority communities that have been held back for too long by barriers of systemic racism," Clinton wrote.

But Trump has a different approach, she added.

"He divides America into winners and losers," she wrote of the Republican nominee.

"This November, the American people will have to choose between an economy that works for everyone and an economy that benefits the well off at the expense of everyone else. The choice couldn’t be clearer."
