United for Homes to Host Congressional Briefing on Campaign, H.R. 1213

The United for Homes Campaign will host a Congressional staff briefing on April 22. The briefing will provide staff with an overview of the United for Homes campaign to modernize the mortgage interest deduction, direct savings into the National Housing Trust Fund, and bring a homeowner tax benefit to millions of additional households. The April 22 briefing will also provide an overview of H.R. 1213, introduced by Representative Keith Ellison (D-MN) on March 12 (see Memo, 3/15). The bill would make needed reforms to the mortgage interest deduction and direct resulting savings into the National Housing Trust Fund, among other programs. Finally, the latest national polling data on Americans’ views on homelessness and how federal housing resources should be used will be described. The briefing will be in room 121 of the Cannon House office building at 10am. To RSVP for this event, please email [email protected].
