President Biden’s infrastructure plan represents a major achievement in recognizing housing as essential human infrastructure. The historic level of funding proposed would be an investment in the future of our country by addressing the persistent affordable housing needs faced by millions of Americans. Increasing and preserving housing stock that is affordable creates jobs, fights social and economic inequities, and helps stabilize our economy.

She understands the needs of HUD’s primary constituencies, who are the housing and redevelopment officials throughout the country navigating HUD’s programs and successfully maximizing the impact of its funding.

On behalf of the National Housing Conference (NHC), I would like to commend President-elect Joseph Biden for moving quickly to put forth a comprehensive plan to introduce additional emergency rental assistance. 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. President-elect Biden’s plan, coupled with the U.S. Department of Treasury’s efforts to expeditiously provide funds to states and localities, represents monumental steps in the right direction.

On behalf of the National Housing Conference, I would like to commend President-elect Joseph Biden on his nomination of Don Graves, Jr. for Deputy Secretary of Commerce. Don Graves is the perfect person to bring together the interests of Main Street, Wall Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.
