“I think Marcia Fudge is a really good choice. As the former mayor of an inner ring suburb (Warrensville Heights, Ohio), she brings something no housing insider brings, which is the understanding of what it’s like to be the consumer of HUD’s products.” – David M. Dworkin
“As industry leaders have expressed, the first $25 billion was a significant down payment towards the rental crisis, but research has proven an additional $25 billion is certainly needed.” – David M. Dworkin
“President Trump’s threat to upend the Covid relief bill while demanding larger stimulus checks is a dangerous distraction from the hard work ahead. We don’t have time to waste renegotiating, and Democrats and Republicans must remain unified in supporting and defending the $900 billion stimulus agreement they fought so hard to reach.” – David M. Dworkin
“The $25 billion in emergency rental assistance is a bandaid on a wider problem.” – David M. Dworkin
“In a joint letter headed by the Center for Responsible Lending, and backed by eight other organizations including the NAACP, National Housing Conference and National Fair Housing Alliance, the coalition called for an increase to the low-income purchase goal to 27%. The groups believe this should be the minimum in 2022 and 2023.”
“And while Fudge has focused on her role on the Agriculture Committee, she has in fact been a supporter of the HOME program and played a behind-the-scenes role in getting Hardest Hit Funds passed through the Treasury, activities highlighted in a statement by David Dworkin of the National Housing Conference. NHC has been encouraging its members to be vocal about welcoming Rep. Fudge on social media to raise her profile within the housing world.”
“Congresswoman Fudge understands the need to make housing policy work for all communities, urban, suburban and rural. We look forward to supporting her confirmation by the United States Senate and working with her in the days and years to come.” – David M. Dworkin
“Her background as mayor of an inner ring suburb of Cleveland, and as a leader on education policy, would be important as HUD plays an important role in reversing the catastrophic loss of Black homeowners over the past 10 years.” – David M. Dworkin
“She has … played a leading role in getting Congress to approve desperately needed funds to stabilize the hardest-hit neighborhoods during the Great Recession.” -David M. Dworkin
