Congress Passes Housing Reform Bill with Rare Bi-Partisan Support: National Low Income Housing Coalition

Congress Passes Housing Reform Bill with Rare Bi-Partisan Support: National Low Income Housing Coalition


On February 2, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 3700, the Housing Opportunities Through Modernization Act, by a vote of 427 Yeas to 0 Nays. This overwhelming show of support is the result of years of strong advocacy pushing these common sense reforms. Thank you to all advocates who contacted your Representative in the past few days about this important bill!
Prior to passage, H.R. 3700 was improved through the passage of several key amendments. Changes to the bill include the following, all of which passed by voice vote:
  • Amendment from Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) to retain current law
