"I am encouraged by proposals in the administration's budget to provide funding for communities that update their land use and zoning regulations to allow for more multi-family housing opportunities."

"One of the problems is HUD's process for determining fair market rents they simply--the process simply does not reflect the reality of housing markets in communities across this Nation."

"Congress and the Administration need to keep an eye on this trend to ensure that the housing market remains open and fair for everybody."

"I look forward to reviewing this budget with you."
