House to Vote on National Affordable Housing Trust Fund Bill on Wednesday, October 10

Those of you who have been on our list for awhile may recognize this bill from past alerts…there has been progress!

On Wednesday, October 10, the full House of Representatives will vote on H.R. 2895, the National Affordable Housing Trust Fund Act of 2007. Goto: http://hr2895.theunderrepresented.com/ to send your Rep a message now.

The bill would establish a national affordable housing trust fund. At least 75% of the new resources must produce or preserve housing affordable to extremely low income people. This would be the first new housing production program since 1990 and the only one focused on housing for households with the lowest incomes. A significant percentage of people with disabilities are low income households.

This is also the first time a bill establishing a National Housing Trust Fund will be considered on the floor of Congress!
