I look forward to working with you on this important bill, and to hearing from you and the inspector general.

The scale and the longevity of these problems highlight systemic concerns about the effectiveness of HUD's oversight.

I am trying to figure out what is a very complicated issue and how we can better serve our very low-income families.

I do believe it is one of the greatest vulnerabilities that we have facing our critical infrastructure.

This has been a major concern of mine.

I very much remember the Administration having a goal of ending homelessness among our veterans by the end of last year, and clearly, that didn't happen.

A formula change is very much needed to ensure that the scarce resources available are directed to communities most in need of assistance today.

To liken our system with any other in the world is preposterous.

Having christened one of those ships, I can tell you that they are absolutely essential.

I see tremendous potential for seniors whose vision has diminished to the point where they no longer can safely drive being able to use these autonomous vehicles so that they can maintain a measure of independence and not be dependent on…

I know he's very much looking forward to another round of questions, and I didn't want to disappoint him in any way.

I want you to know that one reason I'm inviting the inspector general to testify both at both HUD and Transportation at our hearings is precisely because of the issues you've just raised.

But clearly, there were egregious examples, as I read your report, that are very troubling, because it's taking away from scarce resources.

I'm very disappointed I am that the budget, once again, proposes a $200 million reduction.

Does HUD have the sufficient statutory authority that it needs to require the public housing authorities to implement and enforce limits?

This is disturbing for many reasons.

I'm deeply troubled by reports of deplorable living conditions in subsidized properties in Memphis, Tennessee, and Jacksonville, Florida.

We're obligated to figure out the best and most cost-effective ways to address these needs.
