"I am pleased to be here with you today, but I am reminded that we are 8 days away from a government shutdown."

"I appreciate the effort to expand access to affordable homeownership."

"Democrats are certainly taking the housing and homelessness crisis very seriously, and when I was Chair, I held 55 hearings on housing."

"I have introduced several affordable housing bills, including my Housing Crisis Response Act, which would finally make the investments needed to build 1.4 million homes."
