Maxine Waters

I think we have to move swiftly. I think that the call to the Ukrainian President put a lot of facts on the table.

We have yet to have the resources that we need to deal with our aging seniors.

I am so pleased to be working with him to deal with this.

Making loss mitigation mandatory is critical.

It is, as I mentioned, extremely important.

I want to ask about foreclosures and how seniors end up with foreclosures in the HECM program?

The racial and gender wealth gap is real, unacceptable, and actually much larger than people think.

Racial and gender inequities are not caused by individual behavior, but steeped in systems and policies that perpetuate past injustices.

I have no additional speakers. I reserve the right to close. Mr. McHENRY. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Whistleblowers provide an important function. We want to make sure that there are legal constraints on…

I am just heartbroken about what is happening in the Amazon.

The issue of climate change must be addressed in the Congress of the United States, and we must move forward in ways that we have talked about but we have not yet accomplished.

So, Chairwoman Maxine Waters, your tuition at Cal State L.A. in 1971 was the equivalent of about a thousand dollars a year.

We must stop this pointing of fingers and trying to figure out what is going on, and blaming this one or that one.

People aren't going to come off the street if they can't bring their stuff.

We believe if we are to end homelessness, we have to supply the resources to apply to the problem.

It is time to pass Maxine Waters' Ending Homelessness Act now.

We have to extinguish that belief and get rid of that fantasy that there is some magic formula that within a few weeks or months, this will disappear.

This isn't about whether a model is working now. It is about whether we have the resources to actually fuel that model to success.

It is unaffordable housing meets trauma.

You can't clean or arrest your way out of homelessness.

But I hope to give you a perspective to kind of give you some hope and some belief that this is a human-caused problem that ultimately can be a human-solved problem as well.

I think that if I could have a wish that would not cause me to find my way to the gates of hell, it would be that the President could live one day on Skid Row.

Does that come from Federal funding or from Measure H?

Chairwoman Waters' H.R. 1856 exemplifies the sort of bold, major action we need from the Federal Government.

The funding proposed in the Ending Homelessness Act of 2019 introduced by Chairwoman Waters is an excellent example of the type of Federal investment needed to combat this crisis.
