Housing Reform Act Rebuilds Lives
- Issue: The Federal Housing Finance Reform Act of 2005, H.R. 1461, establishes new Affordable Housing funds to increase low-income homeownership and boost the supply of housing for low-income people. It’s under attack by conservatives but stands a good chance of passing if people like you act now.
