KEEP HOUSING FUNDING IN BUILD BACK BETTER
Negotiations and progress on enacting Build Back Better legislation have reached an impasse, and Senate opponents to the bill, as written and passed by the House, have indicated they prefer a slimmed down, reduced funding bill.
Consequently, CLPHA has been made aware that funding for housing programs is, once again, at serious risk of being removed from the Build Back Better Act.
The housing investments in this economic recovery package is expected to help make transformational improvements in the lives of low-income and vulnerable Americans and in our communities.
Last week, CLPHA and other national organizations advocating for public housing and related programs sent a letter to the House and Senate leaders asking that housing be retained in Build Back Better or any related reconciliation vehicle.
The housing investments in this economic recovery package are expected to help make transformational improvements in the lives of low-income and vulnerable Americans and in our communities.

We are asking housing authorities and housing organizations to sign on to a similar letter to Congressional leaders urging them to retain funding for the Public Housing Capital Fund and Housing Choice Vouchers in the Build Back Better legislation.
Sign-ons are Due by February 4!
