CLPHA Advocacy

Major Win for CLPHA Members  and the Families They Serve   

HUD's recent supplemental notice would remove rules protecting disadvantaged communities from its Title VI requirements, which bars PHAs and other federal funding recipients from discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origin. These rules, known as disparate impact regulations, apply to policies that aren’t discriminatory by design, but produce discriminatory results.

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.

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.

Today, a coalition of national organizations convened by CLPHA urged HUD to immediately issue guidance allowing PHAs to apply for Tenant Protection Vouchers (TPVs) to preserve assistance for Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) households in a letter sent to HUD.
