In a sign of how the affordable housing crisis has become a focus for presidential contenders, Sen. Kamala Harris introduced a new version of her bill to give renters a tax credit.

The new plan introduced Tuesday will give renters that spend more than 30 percent of their income on rent and utilities a credit depending on their income, and allow beneficiaries to receive monthly checks from the government instead of getting it once a year through a tax refund.
