Oppose any change to the current rule Support $50 million for the Housing Choice Voucher Mobility Demonstration in the 2019 HUD funding bill Support at least $393 million for the Housing Opportunities for people with AIDS (HOPWA) in FY2019. Support S. 3503, the American Housing and Economic Mobility Act of 2018, legislation introduced by Senator Elizabeth Warren which would reduce the cost of housing across America by creating incentives for local governments to eliminate unnecessary land use restrictions that drive up costs; control the cost of renting or buying a home by leveraging federal funding to build 3 million new housing units for lower-income and middle-class families in urban, suburban and rural areas; provide assistance to people hurt by federal housing policy failures through two targeted new programs; hold financial institutions accountable for providing access to credit for all Americans; and promote mobility by strengthening anti-discrimination laws and improving the housing voucher program Strongly oppose any efforts to streamline, the Affirmatively Furthering Far Housing (AFFH) rule or otherwise make any changes to the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule as it was finalized on July 16, 2015. Support HR 5793 / S 2945, the Housing Choice Voucher Mobility Demonstration Act, which authorizes the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to implement a mobility demonstration program to enable public housing agencies (PHAs) to administer housing-choice rental-assistance vouchers in a manner designed to: (1) encourage low-income families receiving such assistance to move to lower-poverty areas, and (2) expand access to opportunity areas. Support S. 3503, the American Housing and Economic Mobility Act of 2018, which would help to alleviate the pervasive shortage of affordable housing in communities throughout our country Support FHFA carefully considering the link between capital levels, pricing, and access to credit as it works to finalize its rule on FHFA Capital Requirements. Further, it is first critical to remember the primary drivers of the 2008 financial crisis and how those conditions have changed, affecting both the likelihood and severity of a future crisis. Next, the assumptions and mechanics of setting the capital regime must be closely examined in order to both set aside sufficient capital and enable the GSEs to provide their essential support for the housing market

Under the legislation, HUD would identify PHAs to participate in the mobility demonstration program through a competitive process, and some requirements could be waived or adjusted for the participating PHAs. This bill is sponsored by Financial Services Subcommittee leaders Sean Duffy (R-WI) and Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO). Following a positive hearing on the bill this spring, the House Financial Services Committee approved the bill in a unanimous vote in May, 2018; the bill passed the House floor by a vote of 368-19 in July 2018 and was sent to the Senate for consideration. H.R. 5735: Transitional Housing for Recovery in Viable Environments Demonstration Program Act or the THRIVE Act H.R. 5735 is a bill to set aside housing vouchers for transitional housing for substance abuse recovery. Also called the THRIVE Act, the bill would establish a 5-year demonstration program to set aside the lesser of 10,000 vouchers or .05 percent of all vouchers in order to provide housing assistance for 12-24 months to individuals recovering from substance abuse. Only non-profits providing drug treatment and services would be eligible to administer the vouchers (not PHAs); amendments to provide new funding for the demonstration program (as opposed to setting aside existing vouchers) and to require PHAs to administer the vouchers and housing services in partnership with non-profits were not adopted by the Committee.The THRIVE Act was introduced by Representative Barr (R-KY) and passed the House Financial Services Committee on a mostly partisan basis in early June, 2018. Later that month, the bill was passed by the House and sent to the Senate for consideration.

It preserves the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program, with no modifications, and retains the tax-preferred status on Multifamily Housing Bonds. The legislation lowers the top corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018, which will likely affect Housing Credit pricing and value. The law also creates a base erosions and anti-abuse tax (BEAT), which would make Housing Credit investment less attractive to certain investors with foreign operations. However, the final bill exempts 80% of the value of the Housing Credit from the BEAT, which could mitigate the impact. The bill also enacted "Investing in Opportunity Act" provisions. Signed by the President on December 22, 2017. P.L. No. 115-96 (H.R. 1370): Continuing Appropriations Act, 2018 and Homeland Security Act of 2002 This legislation again extends the expiration date of the Fiscal Year 2018 Continuing Resolution from December 22, 2017 to January 19, 2018. Signed by the President on December 22, 2017. P.L. No. 115-90 (H.J.Res. 123): Continuing Appropriations Act, 2018 The law provides continuing appropriations for federal agencies through the earlier of December 22, 2017, or the enactment of the applicable appropriations legislation. It prevented a government shutdown that would have otherwise occured when the CR expired. Signed by the President on December 8, 2017. P.L. 115-56 (H.R. 601): Continuing Appropriations Act, 2018 and Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Requirements Act, 2017 This bill makes temporary appropriations and additional funding available in order assist with disaster assistance and to avoid funding delays at the end of the Fiscal Year 2018 on September 30, 2017. In particular, Division B of the bill, Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Requirements, 2017, provides $15.25 billion in emergency funding for the Departments of Homeland Security and Housing and Urban Development and the Small Business Administration to support disaster response and assistance. Division C of the bill temporarily suspends the statutory debt limit through December 8, 2017. Division D of the bill includes a short-term continuing resolution (CR) that provides fiscal year 2018 appropriations through Friday, December 8, 2017, for the continuing projects and activities of the Federal Government.Signed by President Trump on September 8, 2017. All policies relating to the FY18 Budget, America First, A Budget Blueprint to Make America Great Again, all provisions related to HUD, USDA-RD, Treasury/IRS, and other federal affordable multifamily housing programs. S. 2574 / H.R. 5352: Rural Housing Preservation Act of 2018 The Rural Housing Preservation Act provides rural housing vouchers to residents who live in properties with prepaid or maturing loans, while ensuring the values of housing vouchers are flexible so they can provide assistance to beneficiaries in higher cost areas. The House and Senate bills also decouple rental assistance from the term of a mortgage, allowing USDA to renew rental assistance for a property regardless of the length of the mortgage, and make it easier for non-profit entities to acquire Section 515 properties. The bills also permanently authorize the Multifamily Preservation and Revitalization Restructuring Program to operate in the future. H.R. 4185: Access to Affordable Housing Act: This bill mirrors a provision in the Senate version of the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act to increase the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) by 50%. The bill is intended to complement the House version of the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act, which omits the credit expansion provision. H.R. 4560: GSE Jumpstart Reauthorization Act of 2017: This legislation would prohibit Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac contributions to the HTF and CMF for any year during which all of the GSEs quarterly profits were not transferred to the Treasury Department. The GSE net profit transfer is currently required by a joint agreement called preferred stock purchase agreements, or PSPAs, which were put into place as the GSEs came under conservatorship during the economic collapse of 2008 and amended in 2012. Because the PSPAs also require Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to reduce to zero any capital reserves by the start of the new year, FHFA Director Mel Watt recently testified that we was working with Treasury to explore avenues for the GSEs to retain buffer funds. However, under H.R. 4560, the GSEs would not be able to make HTF contributions - seen as discretionary obligations by some - if they do not continue making their full dividend payments to Treasury. S. 548 / H.R. 1661: The Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act. This bill seeks to expand the LIHTC and includes additional provisions to make the program more streamlined and flexible. The Housing Credit allocation authority would be expanded by 50%, which is expected to finance the development or preservation of up to 400,000 additional affordable units over the next decade (the expansion provision is excluded from the House version of the bill). The bill would also: provide a minimum 4% Housing Credit rate for the acquisition of affordable housing and for multifamily Housing Bond-financed developments; permit income averaging in Housing Credit properties to preserve rigorous targeting while providing more flexibility and responsiveness to local needs; create incentives for projects that target homeless or extremely low-income individuals and families, as well as in Native American communities; allow a non-profit or government sponsor to acquire properties when the current 15 year compliance period expires; allow LIHTC properties to claim clean energy credits such as the Energy Efficient New Homes Credit; align LIHTC rules, such as the student rule, more closely with HUD regulations; rename the LIHTC to the Affordable Housing Tax Credit (AHTC); all provisions. H.R. 4667: Further Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Requirements, 2017: This disaster supplemental appropriations bill provides $81 million in fiscal year 2018 emergency appropriations to several federal agencies for disaster assistance related to Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, as well as for wildfires that occurred in 2017. Emergency spending is exempt for discretionary spending limits and other budget enforcement rules. S. 2066: Disaster Displacement Act of 2017: In response to devastation from hurricanes and wildfire this year, Senators from impacted states introduced legislation to provide housing and Medicaid assistance to families affected by a major disaster. The bill provides additional funding to HUDs Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program to help low-income evacuees to access affordable housing under the voucher program; disaster evacuees earning less than 50% of Area Median Income would be eligible to receive assistance for affordable housing. Following approval of their applications, voucher holders would be able to rent a unit from the private market at 30% of adjusted income. S. 293 / H.R. 828: Investing in Opportunity Act. This bill aims to improve the economy of distressed areas through a capital gains tax deferment, reduction, or exemption in exchange for reinvestment in Opportunity Zones - geographically targeted low-income areas that would be designated by state governors. The capital gains from the sale or exchange any asset held by the taxpayer would be pooled into newly-created Opportunity Funds, which would be established specifically for making investments in distressed communities; all provisions. H.R. 948: Common Sense Housing Investment Act. This bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to replace the mortgage interest deduction (MID) with a nonrefundable 15% tax credit on the mortgage interest of a primary and secondary residence, up to $500,000. The adjustment is expected to affect only 6% of mortgage holders currently benefitting from the MID, while the replacement would expand the mortgage interest tax benefits to more moderate and low-income homeowners. The savings, which could total $241 billion over 10 years, would be reinvested in affordable housing programs, including the LIHTC and the Housing Trust Fund; all provisions. S. 385 / H.R. 1443: Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act. Among other energy-related provisions, this bill would allow HUD to establish a demonstration program under which HUD may execute performance-based agreements with multifamily property owners that result in a reduction in energy or water costs in up to 20,000 units; all provisions related to affordable multifamily housing. S. 611 / H.R. 1511: Homeless Children and Youth Act. This bill aligns the HUD definition for homelessness with the definition used to verify eligibility for other federal programs, such as the National School Lunch Program. The adjustment would expand access to assistance programs and alleviate confusion between agencies; all provisions. S. 434 / H.R. 1145: Housing for Homeless Students Act. This bill amends the IRS housing credit guidelines to qualify low-income building units that provide housing for homeless children, youth, and veterans who are full-time students. In order to become eligible for the LIHTC, the building units student residents must have been homeless during any portion of the preceding five years (for veterans) or seven years (for children and youth); all provisions. S. 73: Housing Accountability Act of 2017. This bill provide standards for physical condition and management of housing receiving Section 8 assistance payments. The bill requires HUD to semi-annually survey residents living in properties that have Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contracts to gather direct input about living conditions and management performance. In addition, the bill would create new penalties for owners who repeatedly fail the survey; all provisions. S. 160: HUD Inspection Process and Enforcement Reform Act of 2017. This bill would shorten the required response time for a property owner to respond to contract violations from 30 days to 15 days. HUD will also be required to prepare a Compliance, Disposition and Enforcement Plan at a quicker rate, from the current 60 days to a new target of 30 days. S. 160 includes provisions that will allow HUD to terminate or demote employees overseeing inspections should they be found to be neglectful of their duties in inspecting a property, and the inspection process managed by HUDs Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) would be audited as well; all provisions. S. 743: A Bill to Strengthen the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness. This bipartisan legislation seeks to strengthen the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH). USICH is an independent agency that coordinates federal efforts to combat homelessness, working across 19 federal agencies and departments and with partners in both the public and private sector to find ways to streamline and improve service delivery to people experiencing homelessness. USICH is the only agency at the federal level charged specifically with addressing homelessness; this bill would eliminate the October 1, 2017 sunset date for USICH. H.R.7262/S.3503: American Housing and Economic Mobility Act. This bill calls for using federal funds to build 3.2 million affordable housing units over ten years, which Sen. Warren says would bring rents down 10% and create 1.5 million new jobs. The bill would also create an infrastructure grant program to incentivize local governments to address restrictive zoning laws, while also broadening Community Reinvestment Act requirements to include credit unions and community banks. The measure also provides down payment assistance aimed at borrowers historically denied mortgages, as well as families who have not recovered from losing homes during the financial crisis. The bill, which is one of a number of recent housing initiatives proposed by prominent lawmakers, also proposes adjusting the Fair Housing Act to include protections for gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, and source of income. To fund the proposals, the bill would repeal recent estate tax cuts for wealthiest families. H.R.7050/S.3342: Housing, Opportunity, Mobility, and Equity Act of 2018.This bill requires Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) recipients to develop a strategy to support inclusive zoning policies. The bill also provides a refundable tax credit to individuals who spend more than 30% of their income on rent. The legislation would amend the Fair Credit Reporting Act to prohibit a consumer reporting agency from creating a report containing a landlord-tenant court or other housing court record unless the case resulted in a judgment of possession, the decision is not being appealed, and the record is not more than three years old. Additionally, if a person takes an adverse action against a consumer based upon a housing court record, the person would have to provide the consumer a free copy of the report. Under the legislation, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau would be required to (1) issue regulations that direct tenant rating agencies to create a central source for consumers to obtain reports and submit disputes, and (2) report on tenant rating agency compliance. S. 1333: Tribal HUD-VASH Act Seeking to combat homelessness and improve support services for Native American veterans, this legislation would authorize a joint tribal housing initiative between HUD and the VASH program. Despite high numbers of Native American veterans, less than 5% of federally-recognized tribes have received Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing during HUDs current Tribal HUD-VASH demonstration. The bill also fosters collaboration between HUD, Veterans Affairs, and the Indian Health Service in implementing housing initiatives. S. 1344: Family Self-Sufficiency Act This legislation was introduced on the 25th anniversary of HUDs FSS program, which uses financial incentives and coaching to help residents increase earnings, build savings, and achieve self-sufficiency. Titled the Family Self Sufficiency Act (S. 1344), the legislation consolidates duplicative programs, broadens services, and extends the program to Project-Based Section 8 tenants. If enacted, the bill would streamline the FSS program, which is currently divided between the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program and Public Housing, into one program, while also authorizing PBRA tenants to access the program. In addition, broadened services available through FSS would help tenants earn various levels of education, training, and housing stability. S.1313: Flood Insurance Affordability and Sustainability Act of 2017 Legislation to reauthorize the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) for 10 years. H.R. 2874: 21st Century Flood Reform Act of 2017; H.R. 2868: National Flood Insurance Program Policyholder Protection Act of 2017; H.R. 2875: National Flood Insurance Program Administrative Reform Act of 2017; H.R. 1558: Repeatedly Flooded Communities Preparation Act; H.R. 1422: Flood Insurance Market Parity and Modernization Act; H.R.2246: Taxpayer Exposure Mitigation Act of 2017; H.R. 2565: Use of Replacement Cost in Determining Premium Rates Flood Insurance Reform and Reauthorization Package: A package of seven bills were introduced in the House and Senate to reform and reauthorize the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which expires on September 30th. Because houses in NFIP-designated flood plains are federally-required to purchase flood insurance, the rental and real estate market alike could be impacted by a lapse in the program or by changes to insurance rates. The House package consists of seven separate bills, including H.R. 2875, which doubles claims coverage costs from $30,000 to $60,000, and also allows the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) the discretion to invest the money before a disaster to mitigate infrastructure damage, representing a significant departure from standard after-the fact insurance models. The package also includes H.R. 1558, a bill requiring community flood mitigation action in areas repeatedly damaged by floods, which account for a small percentage of the country but a large percentage of the NFIPs claims. The House Committees NFIP reform and reauthorization package also includes efforts to establish monthly payments for insurance premiums under a lowered fee structure, upgrade national flood-mapping to accurately reflect risk, and reduce risk- and insurance-related regulations on commercial properties. H.R.10: Financial CHOICE Act of 2017 This bill proposes an overhaul of financial regulations set forth under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act in the aftermath of the 2088 financial crisis. Included provisions impact both the Federal Housing Finance Agency - which oversees Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks - and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) - which oversees mortgage and other lending. Specifically, the legislation would make the FHFA Director removable at will by the President, as opposed to the Presidents current ability to remove the Director with cause, a change that has the potential to cut short the current FHFA Directors remaining term. Unlike previous legislation by Congressman Hensarling, this years bill would not restructure the FHFA into a bipartisan commission. The legislation also includes deeper changes to the CFPB: As opposed to previous legislation seeking to convert the CFPB to a bipartisan commission, the previewed legislation renames the Bureau to the Consumer Financial Opportunity Agency (CFOA) with a sole Director removable at will and a Deputy Director also appointed and removed by the President. The CFOA would be granted enforcement authority only, without supervision functions or the ability to write new consumer protection rules. Additionally, market monitoring and fair lending enforcement would be eliminated. All policies relating to Depts. of HUD, Treasury, and USDA Disaster Recovery efforts in PDD-areas.
