Great news!
Exciting advocacy news from #IREM! The Choice in Affordable Housing Act (HR 1981/SB 890) has been reintroduced in the 119th Congress in both the House and the Senate. Representatives Mike Lawler and Emanuel Cleaver along with Senators Chris Coons and Kevin Cramer reintroduced the bill which would provide $500 million to create a Housing Partnership Fund dedicated to reforming the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program. The funds would be distributed to Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) to offer a signing bonus to a landlord with a unit in an area with less than 20% poverty; and to provide security deposit assistance, so that tenants can better afford to meet required deposits and landlords are assured greater protection against damages. #IREMGovernance #governmentaffairs #BetterTogether
