NLIHC is pleased to announce that Representative Keith Ellison (D-MN) will speak during the Monday, March 18 lunch session at United for Action, the NLIHC 2013 Housing Policy Conference and Lobby Day. Mr. Ellison is the sponsor of legislation introduced in the 112th Congress (H.R. 6677) that would make changes to the mortgage interest deduction and direct some of the savings to the National Housing Trust Fund.  He addressed NLIHC housing policy conference attendees in 2011, when he announced his intention to introduce the bill to fund the National Housing Trust Fund through modification of the mortgage interest deduction. Mr. Ellison returns to NLIHC’s conference to discuss his plans for the bill in the 113th Congress and what housing advocates can do to speed its passage.This year’s event will take place Sunday, March 17 through Wednesday, March 20 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C.
