"Protecting and expanding the Housing Credit is critical."

"There are nearly 10,000 public housing units that are at high risk of being lost each year because they are simply crumbling."

"The challenge is that the cost of renewing rental assistance continues to grow by hundreds of millions, if not billions, each year."

"Is continued subsidization of public housing in neighborhoods like the ones I described just perpetuating problems and an ineffective use of Federal resources?"
