The House Financial Services Committee held a hearing on October 21, “A Strong Foundation, How Housing is the Key to Build Back a Better America.” The hearing covered the importance of affordable housing, the need to invest in housing in the “Build Back Better Act,” and how housing impacts virtually every aspect of life. In support of the message explored during the hearing, an array of multi-sector campaign partners submitted letters to the committee urging leaders to invest in affordable housing.
Organizations submitting letters included the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Children’s HealthWatch, National League of Cities, National Women’s Law Center, and Justice in Aging.
