“I am proud to say that this body just passed the Housing for the 21st Century Act in a strong bipartisan manner. Owning a home is the American Dream. It is one of the best investments any person can possibly make here in America. At a time when too many American families are struggling to afford a home, House Republicans are taking meaningful action to address one of the most pressing challenges facing our country. Indiana remains one of the most affordable States for homeownership in the country, but I know the dream of owning a home is still out of reach for many Hoosiers. Every day, I hear from families that work hard, save their money, and still cannot find a place to call their own. Unfortunately, this is true not just for families in my district, but for the families across the country, as well. House Republicans have heard these concerns and responded with legislation that will directly help more Americans achieve the dream of homeownership. Instead of throwing more taxpayer dollars at ineffective government programs, we are restoring housing affordability by getting government out of the way. Included in this package are many commonsense, bipartisan reforms. Among them is my Streamlining Rural Housing Act.”
