Last night, the Senate passed a

Rule Jeopardizes over $1.1 Trillion in Federal Discretionary Spending

Law Includes CLPHA Priorities for RAD and BABA; MTW Provisions Troubling

POLITICO, one of the most influential news sites read by Congress and the administration, published an article recently calling out the administration's attempt to eliminate the Restore-Rebuild program, which would have disastrous effects on the creation of new affordable housing and could impede the development of as many as 278,000 public housing units.

CLPHA CEO La Shelle Dozier sits down with Jeff for an urgent discussion on protecting Restore-Rebuild, one of our nation's most critical tools for affordable housing development, following HUD's announcement of their intent to end the program. La Shelle breaks down what all of this means to public housing authorities and how CLPHA and our industry partners are opposing this detrimental action through the launch of the Protect Restore-Rebuild Coalition.

Thanks to sustained advocacy from CLPHA and industry partners, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is headed to the president's desk. The Senate passed the bill Monday with a sweeping bipartisan vote of 85-5, and the House followed last night with an equally strong 358-32 vote.
