S.3436/H.R.6686: Workforce Housing Tax Credit Act - This bill would help to close this gap by establishing the first-ever middle-income housing tax credit, which is estimated to finance approximately 344,000 affordable rental homes. To qualify for the credit, at least 60% of the buildings units must be occupied by individuals with area median incomes of 100% or less where the rents are restricted to 30% of the designated income. The affordability restrictions would remain in place for up to 15 years after the compliance period (for a total 30-year affordability period). The legislation also provides flexibility so that states can maximize their resources and best meet community housing needs by allowing housing finance agencies to transfer their middle-income allocation to their Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) allocation at any time. It also allows buildings to combine the two credits to help make more low-income housing projects financially feasible. PL 118-22: Further Continuing Appropriations and Other Extensions Act, 2024.

S.4078 - The Emergency Affordable Housing Act of 2020 A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to improve the low-income housing credit and provide relief relating to the coronavirus emergency, and for other purposes. This bill would: permanently increase the annual Housing Credit authority from $2.81 per capita to $4.56 per capita, and increase the small state minimum from $3,217,500 to $5,214,051, both phased in over two years; set a permanent minimum 4 percent rate for tax-exempt bond-financed properties; lower the financed-by threshold for tax-exempt bond financing necessary to trigger the 4 percent Housing Credit from 50 percent to 25 percent; establish new 30 percent basis boosts for properties in rural areas, Indian areas, and for bond-financed properties for which the state agency determines a basis boost is needed for financial feasibility; establish a new 50 percent basis boost for properties in which at least 20 percent of the units are reserved for and affordable to extremely low-income (ELI) households (the basis boost would be available proportionally based on the percent of ELI units in the property). Introduced (6/25/2020) S. 1703 / H.R. 3077: 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; create incentives for projects that target homeless or extremely low-income individuals and families, as well as in Native American communities;; 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); and more.

The credit is not available for taxpayers with gross income that exceeds $100,000 ($125,000 for a taxpayer whose principal residence is located in a high-cost area, as defined by the bill). Rent that exceeds 100% of the small area fair market rent (including the utility allowance) for the residence may not be taken into account for the purpose of determining the amount of the credit. For individuals who reside in government-subsidized housing, the bill allows a credit equal to 1/12 of the rent paid by the taxpayer (and not subsidized under the program) during the year with respect to the residence. S.1956 / H.R. 3479: Save Affordable Housing Act of 2019 This legislation would repeal the qualified contract option for LIHTC properties. As the law currently stands, owners are permitted to pursue a Qualified Contract, which most often results in the ability for properties to convert to market rate after just 15 years. The Save Affordable Housing Act would prevent the premature loss of affordable housing and ensure that Housing Credit properties remain affordable for at least 30 years.

S. 1703 / H.R. 3077: 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; create incentives for projects that target homeless or extremely low-income individuals and families, as well as in Native American communities;; 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); and more.

As the law currently stands, owners are permitted to pursue a Qualified Contract, which most often results in the ability for properties to convert to market rate after just 15 years. The Save Affordable Housing Act would prevent the premature loss of affordable housing and ensure that Housing Credit properties remain affordable for at least 30 years. S. 755 / H.R.1690 - Safe Housing for Families Act of 2019 This legislation would require carbon monoxide detectors in federally-assisted housing.

S. 2076 / H.R. 3685: Fair Chance at Housing Act This legislation would reform the eviction and screening policies for individuals with a criminal history. Specifically, S. 2076/H.R. 3685 would provide PHAs with additional administrative funding for helping to house ex-offenders through the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program; ban 1-strike policies, which allow tenants to be evicted for a single incident of criminal activity, no matter how minor, in favor of a holistic review; ban no-fault policies, which allow an entire family to be evicted for criminal activity by a guest of a household member even without the knowledge of anyone in the household; raise the standards of evidence to be used by public housing authorities (PHAs) and owners and require a holistic consideration of all mitigating circumstances when making screening or eviction determinations based on criminal activity; ensure that tenants who are evicted for criminal activity and applicants who are denied admission for criminal activity are given adequate written notice of the reasons for the decision, and the opportunity to present mitigating evidence or appeal a decision; and prohibit the use of suspicionless drug and alcohol testing by owners and PHAs. S.2994 - Improving and Reinstating the Monitoring, Prevention, Accountability, Certification, and Transparency Provisions of Opportunity Zones (IMPACT Act) Congress enacted bipartisan Opportunity Zone legislation in late 2017 to incentivize private investment in locally-designated, income-qualified areas through preferential tax treatment.

The legislation would also prioritize a commitment to change local land use policies to accommodate affordable or market-rate housing near the transit projects. S. 2486: Prevent Evictions Act of 2019 and S. 3030: Eviction Crisis Act of 2019 These bills create landlord-tenant mediation program to bring landlords and tenants to the table to find informal, mutually agreed upon solutions that keep tenants in their homes; directs HUD to study the potential for certain types of rent insurance to be cost-effective eviction mitigation tools, and other efforts to prevent and understand evictions.

H.R. 3055: Commerce, Justice, Science, Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, Interior, Environment, Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Act, 2020 This bill provides FY2020 appropriations for several federal departments and agencies. It includes 5 of the 12 regular FY2020 appropriations bills: the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2020; the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2020; the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2020; the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2020; and the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2020. H.R. 5185 & S. 2876: Green New Deal for Public Housing Act Sen. Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) have called for a ten-year investment effort to sustainably retrofit the nations public housing stock through the Green New Deal for Public Housing Act. H.R. 5187 & S. 2951: Housing is Infrastructure Act of 2019 In order to address the shortage of affordable homes across the country, Sen. Harris (D-CA) and Rep. Waters (D-CA) have introduced the Housing is Infrastructure Act, which calls for billions of dollars in federal investments in critical housing programs, such as the Public Housing Capital Fund, the National Housing Trust, the HOME program, and the Rural Multi-Family Preservation and Revitalization Demonstration. H.R. 1585; S. 2843; S.2920: The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2019 Following the lapse of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in February 2019, lawmakers introduced various bills to reauthorize protections for domestic violence survivors while adding significant new housing requirements. The housing industry has continued to follow current VAWA directives in the meantime. In the House of Representatives proposed reauthorization, new provisions include adjusting resident screening requirements, expanding emergency transfer requirements, expanding requirements regarding early termination of assistance, and expanding access to Tenant Protection Vouchers for domestic violence survivors. The legislation passed the House in April. After stalled efforts to reach a bipartisan compromise in the Senate, both Senator Feinstein (D-CA) and Senator Ernst (R-IA) introduced separate VAWA bills in November. Although approaching the issue differently, both bills create a designated housing voucher pool to protect victims of violence living in assisted housing, address the issue of tenants not in good standing, and the role of federal preferences for emergency transfer applications. H.R. 1856: Ending Homelessness Act of 2019 This comprehensive plan to address homelessness provides $13.27 billion in mandatory emergency relief funding over five years to programs and services addressing homelessness; provides funding for new permanent units through McKinney-Vento Homelessness Assistance Grants; expands funding for special purpose vouchers, units for ELI and homeless preference, service coordination and outreach; and provides $20 million for states and localities to integrate healthcare and housing initiatives. S. 787 / H.R. 1737: American Housing and Economic Mobility Act of 2019 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 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. S. 1066: Targeting Resources into Communities in Need Act of 2019 This legislation aims to better target federal grant dollars to high-poverty urban, rural, and tribal communities. The bill expands application of the 10-20-30 allocation formula, which requires that a minimum of 10 percent of federal funds of a particular federal program go to communities with persistent poverty, defined as a county where the poverty level has been 20 percent or higher over the past 30 years. S. 291 / H.R. 1122: The Housing Choice Voucher Mobility Demonstration Act of 2019 The legislation authorizes the Secretary of HUD to carry out a housing choice voucher (HCV) mobility demonstration to encourage families receiving vouchers to move to lower-poverty areas and expand access to opportunity areas. 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. S. 257: Tribal HUD-VASH Act of 2019 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. The bill also fosters collaboration between HUD, Veterans Affairs, and the Indian Health Service in implementing housing initiatives. H.R. 927: Sustainable Communities Act of 2019 This legislation builds on HUDs Sustainable Communities Initiative (SCI), which provided Regional Planning Grants to locally-led initiatives. It encourages local and federal collaboration to create more sustainable housing, environmental, transportation, and infrastructure programs. H.R. 232: Landlord Accountability Act of 2019 This legislation makes source of income a protected class under the Fair Housing Act, establishes fines for landlords who intentionally disqualify units from federal housing programs by letting them fall into disrepair, and establishes new Multifamily Housing Complaint Resolution Program to investigate and resolve landlord/tenant disputes. H.R. 2001: Homeless Children and Youth Act of 2019 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. S. 767: Housing for Homeless Students Act of 2019 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). S. 1703 / H.R. 3077: 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; create incentives for projects that target homeless or extremely low-income individuals and families, as well as in Native American communities;; 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); and more. S. 1106 / H.R. 2169: Rent Relief Act of 2019 This bill allows a refundable tax credit for individuals who pay rent for a principal residence that exceeds 30% of the individual's gross income for the taxable year. The amount of the credit ranges from 25% to 100% of the excess rent, depending on the gross income of the taxpayer. The credit is not available for taxpayers with gross income that exceeds $100,000 ($125,000 for a taxpayer whose principal residence is located in a high-cost area, as defined by the bill). Rent that exceeds 100% of the small area fair market rent (including the utility allowance) for the residence may not be taken into account for the purpose of determining the amount of the credit. For individuals who reside in government-subsidized housing, the bill allows a credit equal to 1/12 of the rent paid by the taxpayer (and not subsidized under the program) during the year with respect to the residence. H.R. 3620 - Strategy and Investment in Rural Housing Preservation Act of 2019 With rural American facing a maturing mortgage crisis on affordable properties, H.R. 3620 would permanently authorize the U.S. Department of Agricultures (USDA) Multifamily Housing Preservation and Revitalization (MPR) Program; allow decoupling of Rental Assistance as a last resort; authorize vouchers for residents after a mortgage matures, is prepaid, or is foreclosed; require USDA to come up with a plan for preservation of rural multifamily housing backed by USDA loans; and establish an advisory committee to advise USDA in implementing this plan. S. 1772 / H.R. 3211: Task Force on the Impact of the Affordable Housing Crisis Act of 2019 This bill seeks to create a task force to evaluate and quantify how the affordable housing crisis impacts life outcomes and increases costs for non-housing programs at the federal, state, and local levels. The task force would also make recommendations to Congress on how to use affordable housing to improve the effectiveness of other federal programs. H.R.3167: The National Flood Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2019 This is bipartisan legislation that reauthorizes the NFIP for five years and also includes a number of reforms to increase affordability, improve mapping, enhance mitigation, and modernize the NFIP. H.R. 2763, The Keeping Families Together Act of 2019 This legislation that would block HUD from implementing a proposed rule that would terminate housing benefits for families with mixed-immigration status, resulting in evictions and family separations. S.1956 / H.R. 3479: Save Affordable Housing Act of 2019 This legislation would repeal the qualified contract option for LIHTC properties. As the law currently stands, owners are permitted to pursue a Qualified Contract, which most often results in the ability for properties to convert to market rate after just 15 years. The Save Affordable Housing Act would prevent the premature loss of affordable housing and ensure that Housing Credit properties remains affordable for at least 30 years. S. 755 / H.R.1690 - Safe Housing for Families Act of 2019 This legislation would require carbon monoxide detectors in federally-assisted housing. The bill also authorizes $300 million over three years to fund the installation and maintenance of carbon monoxide detectors in Department of Housing and Urban Development-subsidized housing units that have combustion-fueled appliances or a ventilation system that connects them to such units. S. 2076 / H.R. 3685: Fair Chance at Housing Act This legislation would reform the eviction and screening policies for individuals with a criminal history. Specifically, S. 2076/H.R. 3685 would provide PHAs with additional administrative funding for helping to house ex-offenders through the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program; ban 1-strike policies, which allow tenants to be evicted for a single incident of criminal activity, no matter how minor, in favor of a holistic review; ban no-fault policies, which allow an entire family to be evicted for criminal activity by a guest of a household member even without the knowledge of anyone in the household; raise the standards of evidence to be used by public housing authorities (PHAs) and owners and require a holistic consideration of all mitigating circumstances when making screening or eviction determinations based on criminal activity; ensure that tenants who are evicted for criminal activity and applicants who are denied admission for criminal activity are given adequate written notice of the reasons for the decision, and the opportunity to present mitigating evidence or appeal a decision; and prohibit the use of suspicionless drug and alcohol testing by owners and PHAs. S.2994 - Improving and Reinstating the Monitoring, Prevention, Accountability, Certification, and Transparency Provisions of Opportunity Zones (IMPACT Act) Congress enacted bipartisan Opportunity Zone legislation in late 2017 to incentivize private investment in locally-designated, income-qualified areas through preferential tax treatment. However, the tax benefit currently requires little reporting, making any positive impacts on housing difficult to gage. Sen. Scott (R-SC), the original Opportunity Zone legislation sponsor, is now aiming to expand accountability and transparency in the tax benefit by requiring information on Opportunity Fund investments, including descriptions, amounts, and dates of the investments made. H.R.4307 - Build More Housing Near Transit Act The legislation that aims to increase housing options near transit and would amend the current rating criteria for the Federal Transit Administrations New Starts program, which funds transit projects, such as commuter rail, light rail and bus rapid transit, through the Capital Investment Grants (CIG) program. It would require applicants for federal transportation grants to submit housing feasibility assessments to determine how and where housing units could be built near new transit stops. The legislation would also prioritize a commitment to change local land use policies to accommodate affordable or market-rate housing near the transit projects. S. 2486: Prevent Evictions Act of 2019 and S. 3030: Eviction Crisis Act of 2019 These bills create landlord-tenant mediation program to bring landlords and tenants to the table to find informal, mutually agreed upon solutions that keep tenants in their homes; directs HUD to study the potential for certain types of rent insurance to be cost-effective eviction mitigation tools, and other efforts to prevent and understand evictions.

S. 1703 / H.R. 3077: 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).

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. Signed by the President on December 22, 2017. 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.

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. H.R.6671/S.3250 - Rent Relief Act of 2018 - This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow a refundable tax credit for individuals who pay rent for a principal residence that exceeds 30% of the individual's gross income for the taxable year. The amount of the credit ranges from 25% to 100% of the excess rent, depending on the gross income of the taxpayer. The credit is not available for taxpayers with gross income that exceeds $100,000 ($125,000 for a taxpayer whose principal residence is located in a high-cost area, as defined by the bill). Rent that exceeds 150% of the fair market rent (including the utility allowance) for the residence may not be taken into account for the purpose of determining the amount of the credit. For individuals who reside in government-subsidized housing, the bill allows a credit equal to 1/12 of the rent paid by the taxpayer (and not subsidized under the program) during the year with respect to the residence. S.3365 - Middle-Income Housing Tax Credit Act of 2018 - This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow a tax credit for the development of housing for middle-income households. The credit is based on the existing low-income housing tax credit and applies to the development or rehabilitation of residential rental properties if: (1) 60% or more of the residential units in the project are both rent-restricted and occupied by individuals whose income is 100% or less of the area median gross income, and (2) the project is not federally subsidized or financed with a federally funded grant. The credits are allocated to each state based on population, and state housing agencies then distribute the credits to developers using a competitive process. The credits are paid over a 15-year credit period, and the amounts of the credits are based on a percentage of a project's qualified basis, which is the portion of the project dedicated to affordable middle-income housing. The credit dollar amount allocated to a project may not exceed the amount that is necessary for the financial feasibility of the project and its viability as a qualified middle-income housing project throughout the credit period. To qualify for the credit, the developer must make a long-term commitment to middle-income housing, under which the affordability restrictions for a property remain in place for at least an additional 15 years after the close of the credit period. 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.

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.

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.

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. Public Law No. 115-31 (H.R. 244): Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017 Omnibus bill providing appropriations for the remainder of FY 2017 for all federal departments; all provisions related to HUD, USDA-RD, Treasury/IRS, and other federal affordable multifamily housing programs. P.L. 114-70, the text of a House amendment to the Senate amendment to H.R. 2028, originally the FY2017 Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. The amendment in the nature of a substitute includes the text of the FY2017 Further Continuing and Security Assistance Act, providing continuing appropriations through 4/28/2017; all provisions related to HUD, USDA-RD, Treasury/IRS, and other federal affordable multifamily housing programs. 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 provision. 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. 2155: Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act This bill overhauls the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, which had enacted banking and financial reform regulations following the 2008 financial crisis. S.2155 rolls back a number of mortgage regulations originally aimed at preventing another economic meltdown, including to allow institutions with less than $10 billion in assets to waive ability-to-repay requirements for certain residential-mortgage loans. Other mortgage-lending requirements related to appraisals, mortgage data, employment of loan originators, manufactured homes, and transaction waiting periods are also loosened. In addition, the bill requires credit reporting agencies to provide credit-freeze alerts and includes consumer-credit provisions related to senior citizens, minors, and veterans. The Senate bill also includes provisions from the bipartisan Family Self-Sufficiency Act, which would relieve some regulatory burden to administer the FSS program, broaden the supportive services provided to participants, and clarify expanded access to project-based tenants. S. 1949: Affordable Housing for Educational Achievement Demonstration (AHEAD) Act: The bill encourages housing authorities, school districts, and community partners to work together in unprecedented ways to coordinate and improve educational and housing outcomes for homeless children. The AHEAD Act would help keep students permanently housed, which could improve attendance in school and reduce learning loss. 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. H.R. 1260: Generational Residences and Nurturing Dwellings or GRAND Act. This bill establishes an assistance program for up to five eligible non-profit organizations for the purpose of expanding the supply of specialized housing and social services for elderly relatives who are raising a child; 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. H.R. 3160: Public Housing Tenant Protection and Reinvestment Act of 2017 This legislation seeks to preserve and revitalize the nations public housing. Specifically, the bill would authorize full funding for public housing, plus additional funding to address the backlog of capital needs; provide a loan guarantee for public housing agencies to attract outside investment into public housing units; authorize a grant program that focuses on revitalizing the most distressed public housing units; require one-for-one replacement in cases where public housing units are demolished or sold; and increase tenant protections. 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. S. 1275: Building Useful Initiatives for Indian Land Development (BUILD) Act This bill seeks to empower tribes to address homelessness and housing instabilities on Native Reservations. Specifically, S. 1275 streamlines the federal process for developing affordable housing on Native lands and gives more control over the developments to the tribes. Additionally, the bill reauthorizes and improves the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA) of 1996, which expired in 2013. 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.

Two key LIHTC provisions were included in the bill: 12.5% credit allocation expansion for four years, and a permanent authorization of the income-averaging option. Signed by the President on March 23, 2018. Public Law No. 115-97 (H.R. 1): Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to reduce tax rates and modify policies, credits, and deductions for individuals and businesses. 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. Signed by the President on December 22, 2017.

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 provision. 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. Public Law No. 115-97 (H.R. 1): Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to reduce tax rates and modify policies, credits, and deductions for individuals and businesses. 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. 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 prevents a government shutdown that would otherwise occur when the existing CR expires because none of the 12 FY2018 regular appropriations bills that fund the federal government have been enacted. Signed by the President on December 8, 2017. S. 1949: Affordable Housing for Educational Achievement Demonstration (AHEAD) Act: The bill encourages housing authorities, school districts, and community partners to work together in unprecedented ways to coordinate and improve educational and housing outcomes for homeless children. The AHEAD Act would help keep students permanently housed, which could improve attendance in school and reduce learning loss. 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. H.R. 1260: Generational Residences and Nurturing Dwellings or GRAND Act. This bill establishes an assistance program for up to five eligible non-profit organizations for the purpose of expanding the supply of specialized housing and social services for elderly relatives who are raising a child; 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. H.R. 3160: Public Housing Tenant Protection and Reinvestment Act of 2017 This legislation seeks to preserve and revitalize the nations public housing. Specifically, the bill would authorize full funding for public housing, plus additional funding to address the backlog of capital needs; provide a loan guarantee for public housing agencies to attract outside investment into public housing units; authorize a grant program that focuses on revitalizing the most distressed public housing units; require one-for-one replacement in cases where public housing units are demolished or sold; and increase tenant protections. 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. S. 1275: Building Useful Initiatives for Indian Land Development (BUILD) Act This bill seeks to empower tribes to address homelessness and housing instabilities on Native Reservations. Specifically, S. 1275 streamlines the federal process for developing affordable housing on Native lands and gives more control over the developments to the tribes. Additionally, the bill reauthorizes and improves the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA) of 1996, which expired in 2013. 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. The NFIP is currently set to expire on Sept. 30, 2017. H.R. 2874: 21st Century Flood Reform Act of 2017; H.R. 2868: National Flood Insurance Program Policyholder Protection Act of 2017;H.R. 287: 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.

H.R. 2874: 21st Century Flood Reform Act of 2017; H.R. 2868: National Flood Insurance Program Policyholder Protection Act of 2017;H.R. 287: 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.
