That’s right folks! Calls from grassroots efforts across the nation and right here in Minnesota convinced the House of Representatives to increase HUD funding.
As NLIHC reports, your work not only lead to increased funding, it stopped several bad amendments from being offered and/or accepted.
What did we stop?
- A bad amendment to eliminate Veterans Affairs Supported Housing (VASH) voucher funding was not offered.
- A proposed amendment to cut Public Housing Capital funding by $455.8 million failed.
- And all amendments to cut HUD funding overall failed.
And this is just a sampling of what we accomplished yesterday. Bravo!
Now, on to the Senate.
