Tina Smith actually said...

I would also like to thank Senator Rounds for his partnership on the Rural Housing Reform legislation that we announced this morning.

Thank you so much to you and your staff for working together with us on today's hearing.

We have a serious shortage of housing in this country, especially in rural communities.

If you do not have a safe, affordable place to live, nothing else in your life works, not your job, or your education, or your health.
