We face a housing crisis in our country. In metro Detroit, there are three extremely low-income renter households for each unit that is both affordable and available. In response, State and local public developers are using innovative policy tools to build new housing developments that are financially sustainable and affordable. That is why I co-led the introduction of the Public Housing for the 21st Century Act, which provides public housing authorities and housing finance agencies with the latest best practices for mixed-income public housing. While Federal subsidies have long been insufficient to address the housing crisis in our country, Mr. Speaker, the Public Housing for the 21st Century Act would ensure that communities have access to the latest models and policy options, creating a pathway for real affordable housing. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to please join me in promoting housing access in every single district across our Nation by cosponsoring this bill. Rhetoric Incites Violence Against Palestinians
