"Today's hearing has highlighted the need to move forward urgently on legislation to make Housing Choice Vouchers universally available."
"I am really tired of funding a broken system, and why aren't we doing something bold like a universal voucher system?"
"As far as I am concerned, housing is as much a human right as education, and housing ought to be as much of an entitlement as education."
"It is nothing short of a moral outrage that our essential workers, upon whom all of us depend, increasingly cannot afford to live in a city or a country that could not survive and succeed without them..."
"The best path to housing as a human right, to housing as an entitlement, is housing vouchers for all, which has been proposed by Chairwoman Waters."
"A universal housing voucher would be very effective in terms of stimulating new housing construction."
"Discrimination against the people who use these vouchers has curtailed what little progress we have made with homelessness."
"We need these vouchers. Expert research shows that housing vouchers prevent homelessness."
"I look forward to working with my Republican colleagues to help get the rental assistance into the hands of the American people who need it most."
"I have deep concerns about the lack of transparency and accountability that is a hallmark of the SPAC process."
"Are you telling me that Robert Kadlec had nothing to do with the awarding of the contract to Emergent?"
